Thus, today, in addition to the district center, 24 villages in Tel Rifaat were liberated from the terrorist organization PKK/YPG. THEY TOOK SEFIRE FROM THE REGIME'S HANDSMeanwhile, military opposition groups reclaimed the district of Sefire from the Assad regime forces, located southeast of the city center of Aleppo, as part of the operation. FREEDOM DAWN OPERATIONWith the launch of the operation against Aleppo by the anti-regime armed groups on November 27, the Syrian regime forces cooperated with the terrorist organization PKK/YPG and handed over some regions to the organization. The terrorist organization began to fortify these areas by bringing reinforcements from the east of the Euphrates River to the Aleppo region. In response to preparations for establishing a terrorist corridor between Tel Rifaat and Manbij, the Syrian National Army launched the Freedom Dawn Operation against the PKK/YPG. After the district of Tel Rifaat was besieged, the district center was liberated from terrorism. THE PKK/YPG OCCUPATION IN TEL RIFATYPG/PKK terrorists captured Tel Rifaat and some surrounding settlements in February 2016 with the air support of Russia. The terrorist organization displaced approximately 250,000 civilians from Tel Rifaat and its surroundings, with this population seeking refuge in areas close to the Turkish border. The YPG/PKK was attacking the Turkish security forces and the positions of opposition fighters that provided security in the areas of the Euphrates Shield Operation and Olive Branch Operation from there. The terrorist organization PKK/YPG, which occupied the district of Tel Rifaat, tried to hold the district by cooperating with the Bashar al-Assad regime and its supporters. After the anti-Assad armed groups entered the city center of Aleppo on November 29, regime forces withdrew their elements from Tel Rifaat.
