Turkey will begin a massive invasion of Rojava starting as early as this week. Last Monday Turkish President Erdogan said that the army is “taking steps regarding the missing parts of the work we started to create a safe zone at a depth of 30 kilometers along with our southern borders.” He is referring to Turkey's last major operation in 2019 in which the Turkish Army took over large swaths of territory.
The military operation will likely be launched during a meeting of Turkey's National Security Council (MKG) on Thursday.
Turkey's pending invasion of Rojava has implications for Kurds and Yazidis here in Sinjar. Last April, when the Iraqi Army initiated an attack on Sinjar defense forces, it was done in coordination with Turkey's invasion of the Zap and Metina regions of Northern Iraq. The townspeople of Sinjar fear that the Iraqi Army may be timing their military operations with Turkey once again, which would mean possible attacks on the Sinjar defenses. The YBS defense forces of Sinjar also report heightened patrols of Turkish drones throughout this region.

Episode 6; Is That A Turkish Killer Drone Above Us? With Thoreau Redcrow
Şervan hikes the mountain with a YBS militia unit when it gets pursued by a Turkish Bayraktar drone. He escapes with a few fighters into a vast tunnel system in the mountains. The same day, we have an extended conversation about Turkish drones with Dr. Thoreau Redcrow (known to Kurds as “Soro”), an American global conflict analyst and geopolitical specialist with extensive knowledge on Kurdish issues – some of it gained from embedding with Kurdistan’s guerrillas.
