48 mercenaries killed, injured and 14 infiltration attempts foiled in Manbij Canton 

The Manbij Military Council revealed the results of the Turkish occupation army's attacks on most villages in the Manbij Canton during July 2024.

It noted that the Turkish occupation state and its mercenaries continue their violations against civilians and their property in the villages of the Manbij Canton, carrying out nearly continuous attacks and assaults on the region, violating all international and humanitarian laws in conflicts.

The occupation forces intentionally intensify their aggressive attacks against civilians to spread fear and terror among them and to displace them from their homes and villages, allowing them to occupy these areas.

However, the resistance of the Manbij Military Council fighters and their defense of their land and people thwarted all the attacks of the Turkish occupation state and its mercenaries, repelling them and causing significant losses in lives and equipment. The Manbij Military Council fighters have demonstrated remarkable resistance and heroism against the Turkish occupation forces and their mercenaries across the front lines. Despite the occupation forces and their mercenaries' efforts to advance into the Manbij Military Council-controlled areas, they always face strong resistance from our fighters, suffering significant losses in equipment and lives and returning defeated to their positions due to our fighters' responses to their attacks. After each attack and infiltration attempt thwarted by our forces, the occupiers and their mercenaries target populated villages with heavy artillery and mortars in an attempt to avenge the defenseless civilians.

The following is a summary of the Turkish occupation state and its mercenaries' attacks on the rural areas of Manbij during July, as well as the Manbij Military Council's response to these attacks and the foiling of all infiltration attempts:

- Between July 17 and 19, mercenaries from the Turkish occupying state attempted two infiltration operations into the village of "Al-Jarad," which were thwarted by our fighters.

- On July 17, 2024, our "Commando" forces, in cooperation with the "Idlib Revolutionaries Brigade" affiliated with the "Kurdish Front," thwarted an attack by mercenaries on our positions, with the mercenaries attacking from the Turkish occupation base at "Al-Kureidia." Our forces responded bravely, resulting in the death of 4 Turkish occupation mercenaries and injuries to 14 others. Our fighters used heavy weapons in responding to the mercenaries' infiltration.

Both operations failed due to the resistance of the Manbij Military Council fighters.

- On July 22, 2024, the Manbij Military Council fighters downed two Turkish occupation drones over the village of "Al-Toukhar" in the northeastern countryside of Manbij. At the same time, the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries heavily bombarded the village of "Aoun al-Dadat" with artillery, completely destroying a military post of the Damascus Government Forces west of the village.

- On July 26, 2024, Turkish occupation mercenaries carried out three infiltration operations into the villages of "Arab Hassan, Al-Jarad, and Al-Muhsenli," but the Manbij Military Council fighters repelled the mercenaries and thwarted all the infiltration attempts, inflicting significant losses in both personnel and equipment, with 15 mercenaries being either killed or injured.

Our forces in the Manbij Military Council continue to resist all attacks and violations by the Turkish occupation forces and their mercenaries in our areas and reaffirm their determination to respond forcefully to any entity attempting to destabilize the security and stability of civilians.
