In an interview Hawar news agency held with the spokesman for Syrian Democratic Forces, Kino Gabriel, the aim of the resumption of al-Jazeera Tempest campaign in these times, the reasons for the recent attacks of the Syrian regime forces and its militias on the areas controlled by Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and the extent of coordination between them and Iraqi forces as it is the ally against terrorism.

Resumption of the campaign aimed to eradicate Daesh remnants of Syrian territory

"The aim of the resumption of al-Jazeera Tempest campaign is to eliminate the remnants of ISIS and remove it from all Syrian territory," he said, Daesh managed to reorganize itself and attack several times the positions of our forces there, and benefited from the cessation of the campaign during the previous period because of the Turkish invasion of Afrin and send us more reinforcements to Afrin and securing the border areas in that period. "

"Our forces, after rearranging their ranks and readiness, providing logistical and military support for them and organizing the appropriate plan to eliminate Daesh remnants of the Syrian land, chose the right time to complete the campaign."

Our coordination is with Iraqi forces because our goal is common

"The coordination between SDF and the Iraqi forces regarding the war against Daesh has existed since the beginning of our war against them, and as the common goal is to secure the borders to prevent the movement of Daesh between the two areas," Gabriel said.

"The Iraqi forces were able to liberate the border area, which was the reason for the crossing of Daesh gangs for Syrian territory, and comes the need for coordination to ensure that the support for the remaining gangs of the organization, whether strikes will be directed to it on the ground or air strikes coordinated with the alliance or with the Iraqi forces, and we seek a common goal to eliminate injustice and access to a democratic pluralistic state based on the peoples' rights in which they live. "

The campaign is resumed at a request of the alliance is not right

"Our work with the international alliance forces did not end with the cessation of al-Jazeera Tempest campaign operations formerly, the allies also saw the need to stop it," he said, and helped to stop threats by the Turkish occupation army, whether in Manbij city or others. "

He confirmed that SDF are leading the military operations on the ground and all the territory in North Syria and that the international alliance forces support their forces.

The attack on our forces is to keep terrorism in the area.

"The recent regime attacks on our forces' positions are not new," he said. "We have seen this in several locations, such as al-Tabqa and al-Jazeera Tempest campaign, more than once."

"The aim of its attack on our forces in sensitive periods is to confuse our forces, trying to stop the war on Daesh, and they are aiming to keep terrorism in the area, It is not different from the Turkish attack, which still has the same goal of maintaining terrorism through the attack on Afrin "He said.

"Syrian Democratic Forces, since their establishment, are defending the Syrian people and liberating Syrian territory from terrorism," he said. "But we clash with other forces, and we hope that this will not happen again, the Syrians will focus on reaching a solution and sit at one table to discuss how to support the Syrian people and get a free democratic life and that is what we are working on.
