Turkish troops have started crossing into Syria to force Kurdish militants away from its border. 50,000 troops, 500 tanks. Advance halted 3 kilometers inside border. Aircraft are bombing the Turkish convoys. No word if Syrian or Russian aircraft. 12:24 PM EDT -- Al-Mansour Dam Across Euphrates River BOMBED by Turk war planes! Supplied drinking water for 2 Million! *** 3:30 PM EDT -- 50,000 Turkish Troops and 500 Tanks have begun entry into northern Syria via three (3) locations. See 3:30 update at bottom. ***

Turkish jets started bombing the Syrian border on Monday night ahead of the ground invasion.

Turkey sees the YPG as a threat due to its link to the separatist PKK, another Kurdish group the Turkish government been battling for decades. It’s considered a terrorist organisation by the U.S. and the European Union.

A Forward group of Turkish forces entered Syria early Wednesday at two points along the frontier, close to the Syrian towns of Tal Abyad and Ras al-Ayn, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said “deployments and work is still underway regarding the operation,” according to state-run TRT television. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had a phone call with Vladimir Putin, thanking the Russian president for being “constructive” as Turkey prepared for the incursion.

Kurdish-led forces were on high alert and called on fighters to head for the frontier to defend the region against the Turkish offensive that is expected to involve tens of thousands of soldiers backed by tanks and armored personnel carriers from NATO’s second-largest army.

Turkey’s advance follows a dramatic reversal of U.S. policy this week. Trump told Erdogan in a phone call on Sunday that dozens of American troops who’d been working closely with Kurdish forces in the fight against Islamic State would pull back, effectively clearing the way for a Turkish incursion.

The White House statement appeared to surprise allies at home and abroad. The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said they would defend their “own people,” potentially relegating the battle against Islamic State.

The Kurdish YPG militia that forms the backbone of the SDF has been one of America’s closest partners in the fight against Islamic State and is holding thousands of jihadist fighters and their families in camps and detention centers in northeastern Syria.

While Trump said Turkey would become responsible for the detainees, who include foreign fighters from Europe, it was not clear if there was a mechanism in place to transfer them to Turkish custody.

Trump drew criticism at home for his decision to hand responsibility for the jihadist prisoners to Turkey over concerns that chaos in northeastern Syria could allow Islamic State members to escape and regroup.

“Moved our 50 soldiers out,” Trump said in a Twitter post on Wednesday.“Turkey MUST take over captured ISIS fighters that Europe refused to have returned. The stupid endless wars, for us, are ending!”

UPDATE 9:53 AM EDT --

***** BULLETIN *****

UPDATE 10:06 AM EDT –

There was an ISIS prison-break last night; hundreds of ISIS fighters broke free inside Syria and INTEL confirms they received orders to head to . . . THE UNITED STATES! The Nogales, Arizona Border crossing was alerted because that is the crossing point ISIS uses to try entering the US, and our brave Border Patrol is carefully monitoring, but WE HERE IN AMERICA are now their target.

Turkish President Erdogan CONFIRMS the Turkish Operation "has begun." The Turkish air force initiated the preliminary bombing campaign of Operation "Spring of Peace" with multiple airstrikes in the vicinity of Ras al-Ayn.

10:15 AM EDT -- Civilians directly on the border in Syria are abandoning their homes and fleeing in cars with what they can gather. This is an extremely unorganized evacuation. Some are fleeing on foot.

10:39 AM EDT -- KURDISH return fire by launching mortar attacks on several Turkish towns across the Syrian border.

Şanlıurfa, Turkey under Mortar attack from Kurds returning Turkish fire: (map below)

MORE:

Nusaybin, Turkey now ALSO under attack by Kurdish returning Turk fire (Map below):

UPDATE 11:12 AM EDT --

Intensive bombardment by Turkish jets on military positions and civilians villages in Tal_Abyad, Serê_Kanye, Qamishlo and Ain_Issa. All in Syria.

According to initial reports there are casualties among civilian people. The Hal Turner Radio Show can CONFIRM there are presently six (6) civilians dead from these attacks, so far. Map Below:

***** BULLETIN *****

UPDATE 12:24 PM EDT --

Al-Mansurah Dam outside Raqqa, BOMBED by Turk war planes. This Dam, across the Euphrates River supplied drinking water to two million people in northern Syria.

Below is a scalable Google map for Al-Mansurah, Syria. The Dam is located above and to the left of Al-Manurah proper, at a narrow point where Lake Assad empties into the Euphrates River.

Without that Dam, there is nothing to hold back Lake Assad from free-flow-flooding from Syria all the way to Baghdad, Iraq! Once the lake is gone, there will be little to nothing to keep the Euphrates River flowing.

This brings to mind a Biblical passage: Revelation 16:12 --

"Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared."

HAL TURNER ANALYSIS

If anyone had doubts that Turkey's intention was nothing short of ETHNIC CLEANSING of Kurds, let this attack on the Dam rid you of doubt.

Turkey has claimed it merely wants to create a 30km wide x 300km long "safe zone" inside Syria. Turkey plans to put about 2 million Syrians -- who fled the Syrian Civil War into Turkey -- BACK INTO SYRIA in this region. But how can people live there without water????????

Turkey's stated intentions now seem like an elaborate ruse.

What Turkey has just done by bombing this Dam should get them immediately ejected from NATO, then the US, Russia, and China should go kick the hell out of Turkey so their dreams of a new Ottoman Empire are crushed.

This act of bombing that Dam is, in my personal opinion, a crime against Humanity. I also believe it is a DIRECT act leading us ALL on the path to Armageddon. This is SERIOUS. More serious than any of us may realize.

I will talk about this story and provide all the latest details on my live talk-radio show beginning at 9:00 PM eastern US time tonight. PLEASE TUNE-IN.

INTEL VIDEO

From an Intel Source INSIDE THE TURKISH ARMY! As they enter Syria in the dark of night for what THEY call an "Incursion" but what REALLY looks like a gigantic ETHNIC CLEANSING operation.

I am able to show you SOME of the video I get from my former colleagues in the Intelligence Community globally, who I met during my years as a National Security Intelligence Asset with the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF).

I was one of the few such persons granted "Extra-Territorial" operating authority by the Office of Intelligence at FBI Headquarters in Washington, DC.

In that capacity, I met, worked with, and forged relationships with Intelligence people in many countries; relationships I maintain to this very day. As such, I get information that the mass-media never gets near!

I am able to show you this, but there is much more I cannot show you due to the need to protect a covert asset. When I report something to you, it is SOLID. But there are many times I simply cannot quote or divulge the source so as to protect that source.

U.S. CONGRESS TO IMPOSE SANCTIONS UPON TURKEY

United States Senators Lindsay Graham (R) and Chris Van Hollen (D) have jointly proposed CRUSHING economic sanctions to be placed on Turkey for today's invasion of Syria. Here is the info from Senator Graham:

UPDATE 5:52 PM EDT --

The Turkish Air Force has BOMBED a U.S.-Coalition Anti-Terrorism Training Facility in Syria. Story HERE

URGENT: TURKEY AIR 

FORCE BOMBS U.S. 

COALITION ANTI-TERROR 

FACILITY!

HalTurner,

8 October, 2019

Turkish military air strikes inside Syria have deliberately and successfully bombed an AMERICAN COALITION JOINT ANTI-TERRORISM FACILITY, known by its Kurdish acronym YAT (Kurdish: Yekîneyên Antî Teror‎, short: YAT,.)

Photos of the bombed facility have been leaked to the Hal Turner Radio Show:

The facility was used to train the best fighters in Counter-Terrorism combat. It was staffed by US-lead, Coalition forces as well as Kurdish troops learning to counter groups like ISIS.

This is a major slap-in-face by Turkey to the United States; especially since President Trump explicitly warned Turkey not to do anything foolish.

At the time of publication of this article (5:52 PM EDT) it is not yet known if any United States persons were in this Counter-Terrorism Training facility at the time of the Turkish air strikes.

We are endeavoring to determine if any Americans were in the facility at the time, and of course, if any of our Coalition partner forces were injured or killed.

This is a developing story, check back for updates . . .

UPDATE 6:05 PM EDT --

One of the prisons that ISIS detainees are held in, was also struck by Turkish airstrikes today.

It is quickly becoming clear that Turkey is aiming to undermine all successful efforts and achievements that we gained during our fighting against ISIS.

Hundreds of ISIS Terrorists have already escaped from other prisons hit by Turkish attacks, and those terrorist are apparently heading immediately back toward Raqqa.

According to various INTEL reports, ISIS is already moving to reclaim Raqqa from the Syrian Arab Army and already -- JUST TODAY -- claims about twenty percent of that area ! ! ! !

It is also confirmed by numerous INTEL reports that quite a large number of ISIS fighters are being directed to head toward the United States, and make illegal entry across our southern border near Nogales, Arizona.

US Customs and Border Patrol is already alerted to this and our brave Border Patrol agents are already closely watching.

Hal Turner Remark: It was Turkey that, early-on, was caught red-handed helping ISIS to smuggle oil stolen from Syria, and to sell that oil on the black market. Turkey literally waved-through their border checkpoints, hundreds of stolen oil tanker trucks, carrying stolen Syrian oil.

This little smuggling operation, with sales handled through Turkey, netted ISIS about $100 Million A MONTH; which they used to buy weapons, hire people and expand.

When Turkey was CAUGHT doing this, by Russian Intelligence who provided the world with actual video of these trucks being waved-through the Turkish Border checkpoint, Turkey was forced to halt their participation in this theft-smuggling cash cow, which resulted in de-funding ISIS helping its collapse.

TODAY, it seems that Turkey's military actions are designed (in part) to restore ISIS!  

Russian Fighter Jets 

INTERCEPT Israeli Jets; 

Prevent Attack on Syria

HalTurner,

9 October, 2019

Last night, Russian fighter jets intercepted Israeli warplanes preparing to bomb a site inside of Syria.

According to the report, numerous Russian military aircraft "swarmed" near the southern border of Syria after Israeli warplanes made an appearance close to the border.

“It was reported about the flights of Russian fighters over southern Syria, presumably due to the appearance of Israeli military aircraft,” the report said.

Shortly after this claim, the Syrian Military Capabilities Twitter account, which often reports about air activity in Syria, said an Israeli attack was expected before Russian planes swarmed southern Syria.

The claims about the Russian aircraft in southern Syria were also confirmed by several observers, including military personnel in the Damascus countryside.

Radio traffic between the Russian and Israeli jets SEEMS to confirm that Russia made clear any weapons launched toward Syria would result in a Russian fighter jet response to the launching aircraft.

Last month, the Russian military intercepted several Israeli jets that were planning on bombing Syria; which demonstrated a signified a change in Moscow’s approach to the Israeli attacks inside Syria.

In addition to intercepting Israeli warplanes, the Russian military also provided the Syrian Armed Forces with information about potential attacks, as the latter was able to prevent at least two separate drone attacks on Damascus and Al-Quneitra.
