The Turkish army is building a military base near the town which is under the control of Syrian Kurdish forces, an opposition to Turkey presence in Syria.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Turkish troops are setting up a new military base near the town.

Local sources told the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that the construction of the base has begun and military equipment and logistics have been sent to the site.

It should be noted that Turkey also built a base near Ein Issa last November.

The city of Ain Issa, which is controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), is rumored to be the next target of a Turkey and Ankara-backed Syrian groups military offensive. Turkish army artillery attacks and ground attacks by the Syrian militants on the city have continued in the last two weeks.
