Syria Call:

The Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units militia YPG increased precautionary measures in fear of a possible military operation against them, including the seizure of civilian homes and the increase of forced recruitment campaigns.

"The protection militia seized dozens of houses in the Ras al-Ain area north of Hasaka, and turned them into military headquarters in conjunction with the introduction of reinforcements and additional lifting of earth mounds in the region," local sources reported.

The sources explained that the houses that were seized mostly from the area, and that the operations included the villages of "al-Sefer, Duwaira, Nasiriyah and Tal Halfa" in the northern countryside of Hasaka.

On the other hand, the security forces arrested a number of young men in the city of Manbij east of Aleppo and took them to their camps to force them be recruited in their ranks, in the context of massive forced recruitment campaigns in the areas of control recently.

Militias continue to dig trenches and establish fortifications in the border areas and contact points coinciding with a heavy flight of Turkish reconnaissance aircraft, especially north of Raqqa.

The Turkish President "Recep Tayyip Erdogan," announced last Sunday on the expected steps for his country in the areas of Tal-Abyad and Tal Rifaat north of Syria to secure the region, stressing at the same time to seek the return of Manbij to the right owners quickly.
