By Orkhan Quluzade – Trend:

Turkish Army and Free Syrian Army (FSA) have taken full control of downtown al-Bab from the “Islamic State” (IS aka Daesh) terrorists, General Staff of Turkey said on Feb. 23.

On Aug. 24, 2016, the Turkish Armed Force launched an operation to liberate the city of Jarabulus from the IS militants in northern Syria, near Aleppo.

The operation was dubbed the Euphrates Shield.

Syria has been suffering from an armed conflict since March 2011, which, according to the UN, has so far claimed over 500,000 lives.

Militants from various armed groups are confronting the Syrian government troops. The IS, YPG and PYD are the most active terrorist groups in Syria.
