Syrian National Army Claims Control of Tishrin Dam and Manbij, Turkish Defense Ministry Denies Terrorist Advances
Dec 26, 2024, 09:08 AM
The Syrian National Army (SNA) has reportedly taken control of the Tishrin Dam and the surrounding areas, including the strategic region of Manbij. Multiple sources, including the Turkish Ministry of National Defense, confirmed that the SNA has successfully captured the dam and the nearby bridges, which were previously held by PKK/YPG militants. The Turkish defense ministry stated that claims of terrorist advances in these areas are unfounded and do not reflect the current reality on the ground. The ministry emphasized that the control of Manbij and Tishrin Dam is entirely in the hands of the SNA. This development marks a significant shift in the region, with Turkish officials viewing the defense cooperation with the new Syrian administration as a vital opportunity for both nations and for regional stability.
