Turkey launched a military operation Wednesday against Kurdish fighters in northeastern Syria after US forces withdrew from the area, with activists reporting airstrikes on a town on Syria’s northern border.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced the start of the campaign, which followed an announcement Sunday by US President Donald Trump that American troops would step aside in a shift in US policy that essentially abandoned the Syrian Kurds. They were longtime US allies in the fight against the Islamic State group.

Mustafa Bali, a spokesman for the US-backed Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, said Turkish warplanes were targeting “civilian areas” in northern Syria, causing “a huge panic” in the region.

The Turkish operation would ignite new fighting in Syria’s 8-year-old war, potentially displacing hundreds of thousands of people, and the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human rights reported that people had begun fleeing the border town of Tal Abyad. Kurdish politician Nawaf Khalil, who is in northern Syria, said some people were leaving the town for villages farther south.

Trump later cast his decision to pull back US troops from parts of northeast Syria as fulfilling a campaign promise to withdraw from the “endless war” in the Middle East. Republican critics and others said he was sacrificing an ally, the Syrian Kurdish forces, and undermining Washington’s credibility.

    Father we agree with this prayer in Jesus’s Name. We claim Psalms 91 and the Psalms 35:4 says, ….let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. We say that the enemies of your saints in Syria will be turned back and confused. PTL.

Dear Father, Will not the Judge of all the earth do right? We ask in Jesus’s Name that You stand in the way of the Turkish invaders. We ask that they find no way of advancement. We ask You to turn them back and distract their leaders to abandon these plans of invasion. Many Kurds call upon Your Name—preserve them from destruction, Lord. Call out international defenders to protect them, according to Your Will. For Jesus’s Sake.

Praying that God will fight this battle just as He did in the 6 day War in Israel! Only God can do this. When Britain abandoned Israel,the attack came to destroy this home just established for the Jews, the enemy’s attempts totally failed.

    Praying in agreement, Cary Wiik. The Kurds ARE our friends. I just called the White House Comment Line and left a message, asking President Trump to get with the pastors that pray with and for him, to PRAY about this, and that I’m praying that God grants him extraordinary wisdom, discernment, and clarity in this very precarious situation. In the meantime I am praying that God protects and defends our friends the KURDS against any and ALL things that would cause them harm. Father may it be so, in Jesus name, amen.
