Tel rifate seizure from the RKK/YPG
YPG/PKK terrorists, with the support of Russia from the air, captured Tel Rifat and some settlements around it in February 2016.
The terrorist organization replaced about 250 thousand civilians from the city and its environs, which took refuge in areas located near the Turkish border.
From this territory, YPG/PKK organized attacks on the positions of Turkish security forces and opposition militants in the areas of operations “Shield Euphrates” and “Olive Branch”.
The terrorist organization that occupied the Tel Rifat area tried to keep it in cooperation with the regime of Bashar al-Assad and its supporters.
On November 29, armed groups opposing the Assad regime entered the Center of Aleppo. The forces of the regime withdrew their units from Tel Rifate.
