or
Turkish build up on the border to assault Tel Abyad and attack the Syrian Kurdish YPG in order to create a fissure between the YPG and the Arabs in order to neutralize the SDF as a reliable American partner force for the Raqqa operation.
Turkey is currently shelling the town and Turkish warplanes are flying sorties above it but not currently dropping munitions.
It is thought that this operation will take place shortly before Recep Tayyip Erdogan's meeting with Donal Trump on May 16-17.
