Turkey opens fire on US Special Forces in Syria

Turkey opens fire on US Special Forces in Syria so heavily they ‘considered firing back in self-defense’

According to a senior Pentagon official, the Turkish forces should have been aware of where the U.S. was positioned “down to the grid.” So, it’s unclear why they would begin firing on the American soldiers. There were somewhere between 15 and 100 troops in the area, the official said, describing it as a “small number below company level.”
