Free Syrian Army (FSA) has connected the Syrian towns of Azaz and Jarablus on Sunday, providing full border security as Daesh presence is cleaned from the border, Anadolu reported.
The FSA, in cooperation with the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK), cleared the southern border of Daesh terrorists.
On Aug. 24 morning, the Turkish Air Force with the support of the coalition aircraft launched an operation to liberate the city of Jarabulus from the IS militants in northern Syria, near Aleppo city.
The operation was carried out under the name “Shield of the Euphrates.”
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 “Islamic State” (IS, ISIL, ISIS or Daesh), the YPG and the PYD are the most active terrorist groups in Syria.
