In a recent operation, Turkey's intelligence agency successfully dismantled a convoy transporting substantial military equipment in northeast Syria. The convoy included missiles, heavy weapons, and tanks, which were under the control of the Kurdish YPG militia.
According to a Turkish security source, these materials had been abandoned by the military belonging to ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The operation targeted the convoy near Qamishli, a strategic area in Syria.
This significant move underscores the strained dynamics in the region, where Turkey has consistently opposed the Kurdish YPG militia's influence. The region remains a focal point for broader geopolitical tensions involving multiple stakeholders.
