Thirty-eight Daesh militants were killed in northern Syria over the last 24 hours, the Turkish military said on Sunday, marking an escalation of conflict in the area where Syrian rebels, backed by Turkey, are fighting the jihadists.
Supported by Turkish tanks and air strikes, rebels have been pushing toward the Daesh stronghold of Dabiq in an operation launched in late August.
Fourteen of the Daesh fighters were killed as they attempted to enter the rebel-controlled villages of Akhtarin and Turkmen Bareh, three kilometers (two miles) east of Dabiq, the Turkish army said in a statement.
The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Saturday that Daesh militants had captured those villages in a counter attack near the Turkish border, but the Turkish military statement contradicted this account.
Another 17 Daesh fighters were killed in air strikes by US-led coalition warplanes in the same areas, the military said in its daily round-up on the operation, dubbed “Euphrates Shield.”
Turkish warplanes later launched their own air strikes against Daesh targets in northern Syria on Sunday morning, killing seven militants and destroying five buildings which they were using, the army said in a subsequent statement.
The military also said two Syrian rebels had been killed and 19 wounded in the latest fighting against Daesh. The operation has also targeted a Kurdish militia whose presence along its border Turkey sees as a threat.
