(CBN) – Despite claims of a cease-fire, Turkish backed jihadist forces are continuing their assault in strategic areas of northeast Syria. The attacks assisted by Turkish air and artillery threaten Christians and other religious minorities. Many see the invasion as the first step in President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s dream to establish a greater Turkey.
During this so-called ceasefire, hundreds have died, thousands more have been wounded and hundreds of thousands have fled. Turkish backed forces have even attacked medical units. One of the latest victims is Zhao Seng, a volunteer cameraman and medic with the Free Burma Rangers (FBR), a Christian medical mission that rescues and treats the wounded on the battlefield.
Dave Eubank leads this mission of mercy. “We worked on him for an hour. Joseph the medic and I, CPR, adrenaline, oxygen and shock. Prayer that he would stay with us in Jesus name, but he didn’t, so he’s in heaven. Really sad, really sorry,” said Eubank. Despite the loss of their friend, he says their work to rescue the injured will continue. “We’ll stay here and keep serving you and the wounded and keep speaking for you about this zone of invasion, this zone of death, that the Turks and their proxies, jihadists & others, have launched,” said Eubank in a message to those caught in the crosshairs of Turkey’s attack.
