Kurdish, Turkish forces continue fighting in Syria's Afrin area Turkish-backed Syrian rebel fighters and Turkish soldiers were seen on Monday in the area of Mount Bersaya, which was retaken only hours later by Kurdish forces, north of the Syrian town of Azaz near the border with Turkey. The Turkish military on January 20 launched operation "Olive Branch", its second major incursion into Syrian territory during the seven-year civil war. The operation, with Turkish war planes and artillery backing a major ground incursion involving Ankara-backed Syrian rebels and Turkish tanks, aims to oust the People's Protection Units (YPG) militia from its Afrin enclave.
