Michel
Israel from the US state of California, also known as Robin
Akri, and Antoun Lesjek, also known as Vazana Juan, from
Germany were killed in the Turkish air raids on Kurdish positions in
the Western part of Manbij city on November 26," the council
announced.
The
council declined to reveal any further detail about the two,
including their mission in Northern Syria. Both the US and German
armies have deployed spies and military trainers in Northern Syria.
In
late November, Spokesman of Manbij Military Council Sherfan Dervish
voiced his forces' readiness to fight against the ISIS terrorists and
Turkish army in Aleppo province in Northern Syria.
"After
the Kurdish-dominated Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) left Manbij, the
city's military council is ready to repel any possible attack by the
ISIL and Turkey," Dervish told FNA.
He
noted that the SDF's mission in Manbij ended as per an agreement
signed by the two sides, adding that the SDF forces have returned to
their previous positions.
"The
armed groups present in Manbij now are all under the auspices of
Manbij military council because the council can thwart any possible
attack by the ISIL and Turkey and combat aggressors to maintain
stability and security in the city," Dervish dded.
In
early August, the SDF pushed ISIL back from the entire neighborhoods
of Manbij in Northeastern Aleppo after over 70 days of non-stop
bloody clashes with the terrorists.
Also
in August, he Military Council of Manbij in Aleppo province announced
that over 4000 terrorists had been killed in tough battle with the
SDF since the beginning of Manbij liberation operations.
"A
sum of 4180 terrorists have been killed in the battle over Manbij and
the dead bodies of 1724 of them are with the Kurdish forces,"
the military council said.
The
council said that 112 ISIL terrorists were in custody of the Kurdish
forces and 144 different kinds of military vehicles had also been
destroyed in Manbij battle.
In
late August, a Turkish-backed terrorist ringleader said that his
militants intended to head towards Manbij to take the city from the
Kurdish forces who could drive out the ISIL in early August.
Colonel
Ahmed Osman, the commander of Sultan Murad terrorist group, told the
Arabic service of Reuters that the Turkey-backed forces were
"certainly heading towards Manbij" since the SDF had
fortified their positions instead of evacuating the strategic city.
Also
in late August, the Manbij military council warned the Turkish army
over deployment of troops to the Northern parts of Syria, and vowed
to give "an appropriate response to Ankara's aggressive plans in
future".
"We
will give firm response to the Turkish army if it continues its
troops' deployment in Northern Syria," the Manbij Military
Council said in a statement.
