Türkiye ‘building up forces’ on Syrian border – WSJ
For days, there have been increasing reports that a large-scale attack on Kobane is imminent. Turkish media are openly announcing this. We see videos of SNA convoys, already camouflaged with mud, gathering on the west side of the Euphrates.
Kurdish officials are reportedly pleading with US President-elect Donald Trump to convince Ankara not to launch an invasion

Türkiye and its militia allies are reportedly building up their forces near the Syrian border in what is speculated to be preparation for a large-scale incursion into Kurdish-held territories, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing senior US officials.

According to the outlet’s sources, the forces include militia fighters and Turkish commandos, as well as large amounts of artillery. The buildup is reportedly taking place near Kobani – a Kurdish-majority city in Syria on the northern border with Türkiye.
One of the US officials told the WSJ that Washington is now focused on pressing Ankara to hold off on the cross-border operation.
Meanwhile, Ilham Ahmed, an official in the civilian administration of the Syrian Kurds, has reportedly sent a letter to US President-elect Donald Trump, asking him to convince Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan not to deploy his troops.
“From across the border, we can already see Turkish forces amassing, and our civilians live under the constant fear of imminent death and destruction,” Ahmed wrote in the letter seen by the WSJ.
The official raised concerns that the Turkish operation could be imminent, and warned that Ankara’s goal appears to be to “establish de facto control” over Kurdish territories before Trump takes office in January.
According to Ahmed, this would force Trump to engage with Türkiye as “rulers of our territory” and would have “catastrophic” consequences.
Last week, the US-backed, Kurdish-based Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) reported that it had already come under Turkish artillery and drone attacks.

The US even warned Türkiye, a NATO member, that it could be targeted by sanctions if it continues to attack US-backed Kurdish forces, which he said had helped destroy ISIS.
“We have to ensure that the roughly 50,000 ISIS prisoners in northeastern Syria – being primarily held by Kurdish forces – are not released,” he wrote on X, adding that while Ankara has “legitimate concerns regarding different groups” in the region, an ISIS jailbreak would be “a nightmare for America.”
Following the fall of former President Bashar Assad’s government to opposition forces led by Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS) jihadists, virtually the entire western part of Syria has come under the control of the armed opposition, many of whom are supported by Türkiye.
However, the territory in the east and northeast remains under the control of the SDF. Türkiye considers the armed units of the Syrian Kurds to be involved in terrorist activities.

To denounce the attacks of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries on the region, thousands of people from the Euphrates Canton went out in a march that started from Free Women’s Square in the city of Kobani.
Amid chanting, “Long live the SDF resistance” and “Death to fascism,” the participants carried pictures of leader Abdullah Ocalan, the martyrs, and the flag of the Syrian Democratic Forces..
Upon its arrival at Martyr Agid Square, the participants observed a minute of silence in honor of the souls of the martyrs. Then, the co-chair of the Democratic Society Movement (TEV DEM) in the Euphrates Canton, Anwar Muslim, delivered a speech in which he condemned the attacks of the Turkish occupation army and its mercenaries, the “National Army.”
He said: “The international coalition to fight ISIS must fulfill its responsibilities and put an end to the attacks of the Turkish occupation and its mercenaries, which increased with the fall of the Baath regime in Syria.”
He stressed: “Our message in NE Syria is clear, which is to live in a democratic Syria that preserves the rights of all components. They say that the Kurds are an essential component of Syria. This must be implemented on the ground by stopping attacks on them.”
The march ended with the participants chanting: “Long live the SDF resistance,” “The martyrs are immortal.”
