On December 1, as part of the Syrian National Army's (SMO) Operation Dawn of Freedom, the 10-kilometer tunnel network in Tel Rifat, which was rescued from the terrorist organization PKK/YPG, was photographed.

BEDROOMS BEHIND IRON DOORS

YPG/PKK digs tunnels for hiding, infiltration, and sudden attacks in the areas it occupies in Syria, especially in areas close to the border. The Syrian National Army (SMO) is scanning the 10-kilometer tunnel network located in the Tel Rifat district, which was rescued from the PKK/YPG terrorist organization. In the tunnel search and scanning activities followed by AA, barrels stacked at certain intervals, electrical cables, and bedrooms with beds behind iron doors were found in tunnels dug meters below buildings.

In the tunnel network, which has junctions that branch into different paths, it was observed that the rags of the PKK/YPG terrorist organization were hanging on the walls, and photos of PKK/YPG terrorists were found in the rooms. The tunnels were observed to be approximately 1 meter wide and 2 meters high. In the aerial images taken by drones (UAV) over the district, it is also noticeable that many houses in Tel Rifat, which has been under the occupation of terrorists for years, have turned into ruins due to neglect.

USED CIVILIAN SETTLEMENTS FOR TERROR ACTIVITIES

YPG/PKK digs tunnels for hiding, infiltration, and sudden attacks in the areas it occupies in Syria, especially in areas close to the border. The tunnels are also used for transporting and hiding materials from one area to another. The terrorist organization had previously dug tunnels and pits in the regions of Afrin, Manbij, Ayn al-Arab, Tal Abyad, Ras al-Ayn, Sarrin, Qamishli, Hasakah, and Malikiyeh. Terrorists, who use civilians as shields, generally dig tunnels leading to houses, schools, hospitals, and places of worship in the areas they occupy.

WHAT HAPPENED?

On November 27, clashes broke out between the Assad regime forces and regime-opposing armed groups in the western rural area of Aleppo in northern Syria. On November 28, regime-opposing armed groups rapidly advanced from the western rural area of Aleppo towards the center, capturing a large part of the center on November 30. On November 30, armed groups that took control of the Han Shaykhun district continued their advance by clashing in Hama province as well. In the Operation Dawn of Freedom launched by the Syrian National Army against the PKK/YPG terrorist organization in the rural areas of Aleppo on December 1, the center of Tel Rifat was liberated from terrorism.
