FSA fighters preparing for al-Bab operation

Turkish Armed Forces-supported Free Syrian Army (FSA) is preparing to take central al-Bab from Daesh terrorists, bolstered by air and ground support from Turkish troops. The western part of the city center is witnessing clashes as armored vehicles from the FSA conduct the operation. The Turkish military has been surrounding the Daesh-controlled town of al-Bab for weeks as part of the ongoing Operation Euphrates Shield. The Turkish-led operation, aided by the FSA, was launched in late August to improve security, support coalition forces and eliminate the threat of terror along the Turkish-Syrian border.
