The Daesh attack is large-scale and is not a hit and run operation. Now who is volunteering to fight them in case they capture parts of the city now that the SDF is busy manning borderline?— Bahtiyar Umut (@baxtiyarumut) October 8, 2019

This is a tragedy in the making.
Looks like Russia may be involved as well.
...I'm also told that Turkish attack appears coordinated with the Russians. Russian-backed forces are mobilizing to invade the Kurdish area from the south â towards Tabqa and other spots. Meanwhile, ISIS is mobilizing sleeper cells in Raqqa and attacks have taken place tonight.— David Ignatius (@IgnatiusPost) October 9, 2019

Looks like the Turkish invasion will occur within the next 24 hours. Godspeed Kurdish warriors.
