Abdi said on X that the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is criticizing what is Israel doing in Palestine while he is doing the same in northeast Syria.
Commander in Chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Mazloum Abdi said on Wednesday that Turkey is committing massacres and war crimes in northeast Syria on a daily basis.
Erdogan criticized Israel’s blockade of Gaza saying cutting off electricity and water is against the Palestinians’ human rights.
“Naming the war that leads to cutting off water, electricity and roads, and destroying infrastructure, places of worship and schools as “massacres” is exactly what his [Erdogan’s] government is doing in NE Syria,” according to the Commander in Chief.
Since Oct. 5, Turkey launched many airstrikes, artillery shells, and drone strikes against 28 infrastructure facilities, 150 residential areas, 34 military sites, including 21 locations of the Syrian government forces, seven farmlands, three factories, a school and a hospital, according to the Monitoring and Documentation Department of North Press.
On Oct. 1, two individuals carried out a bomb attack in front of the building of the Ministry of Interior in Turkey’s Ankara injuring two police officers.
On Oct. 4, Fidan claimed that the two attackers had been trained in Syria. “From now on, all infrastructure, large facilities and energy facilities belonging to (armed Kurdish groups) in Iraq and Syria are legitimate targets for our security forces,” he threatened.
