KURDISH FORCES ARE READY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE UPCOMING OPERATION IN EASTERN AL-SUWAYDA


On August 5, General Commander of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG), Siban Hamo, told the UK-based Asharq al-Awsat newspaper that his forces are ready to participate in the upcoming operation against ISIS cells in the eastern al-Suwayda countryside.

“ISIS launched barbaric attacks against our people in al-Suwayda. The pain of the Druze is the same pain we felt in Kobane and Afrin … We do not distinguish between these attacks and those against al-Suwayda. The YPG is ready to dispatch forces to liberate it from terrorism,” Hamo said.

Furthermore, Hamo noted that the YPG liberated third of Syria’s territory from ISIS, which proves the effectiveness of the Kurdish group, according t
