Introduction On October 9, 2019, the Turkish military began bombarding northeast Syria ahead of its invasion of the region. Its campaign has continued since then as Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan pursues his stated goal of a "safe zone" 32 kilometers deep inside Syrian territory along the Turkey-Syria border.
