Turkish warplanes have carried out
a series of airstrikes on the Syrian city of al-Bab in yet another
blatant act of aggression against the sovereignty of the Arab state.
According to the Turkish military,
the airstrikes were conducted against targets in the city of al-Bab,
located some 40 kilometers northeast of Aleppo, shortly before 8 a.m.
(0500 GMT) on Friday.
The military claimed the attacks
targeted Daesh.
The strikes are part of an ongoing
incursion by Turkish military inside northern Syria.
On August 24, Turkish special
forces, tanks and jets backed by warplanes from the US-led coalition
launched their first coordinated offensive in Syria. On the same day,
Damascus strongly denounced the intervention as a breach of its
sovereignty.
Senior officials in Damascus have
said that any side willing to fight terrorism on the Syrian territory
should cooperate with the government and the Syrian army.
