From the outskirts of Tell Rifaat, Kurdish guerrilla groups launch attacks against Turkey’s proxies in northern Aleppo on a regular basis. One of the most active guerrilla groups in the region is the Afrin Liberation Forces.
The Turkish attack on Tell Rifaat will likely cause tensions in northern Aleppo, where the situation was calm during the last few months.
