Turkey’s Gendarmerie and Police Special Forces entered Syria’s Afrin via the Kilis Gülbaba and Hatay Hassa border on Monday. The teams entered Afrin to engage in residential operations.

A total of 2,059 PYD/PKK and Daesh terrorists have been neutralized since the launch of Operation Olive Branch in Syria's northwestern Afrin region, the Turkish General Staff said in a statement on Monday.

Operation Olive Branch was initiated on Jan. 20 in Afrin to establish security and stability, eliminate terrorists of PKK/KCK/PYD-YPG and Daesh, and save locals from the terrorists’ oppression and cruelty.
