At Least 23 Daesh Terrorists Killed In Northern Syria

No fewer than 23 Daesh terrorists were killed  in northern Syria in the last 24 hours as part of the ongoing Operation Euphrates Shield, according to a Turkish General Staff statement released early Friday.

154 Daesh targets, including the terror group’s shelters, headquarters, defense positions and vehicles had been hit by Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters with Turkish Land Forces support, the statement said.

Also, Turkish fighter jets destroyed seven buildings used as hideout, three headquarters and an arms depot of the terrorist group.

The Turkish army is supporting FSA fighters in liberating Al-Bab, a strategic city for Daesh, from the terrorist group. Friday marks the 171th day since the city was surrounded in order to liberate it.

The Turkey-led Operation Euphrates Shield began in late August to improve security, support coalition forces, and eliminate the terror threat along the Turkish border using FSA fighters backed by Turkish artillery and jets.
