Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said he was determined to "get rid" of the Kurdish fighters if the Americans did not force them to withdraw from northern Syria and move them away from Turkey's southern border. At a time when the Kurdish parties in northern Syria considered Erdogan's threat a "declaration of war, International forces reinforcements to its bases in northern Syria in line with the Turkish threats, while the Syrian Democratic Forces (KDP) refused to request the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq to deploy Peshmerga forces in the areas bordering the region.

Erdogan said in a speech in the city of Konya that the units of protection of the Kurdish people «a source of concern» for his country.
"We are a strategic partner, we must do what is necessary," he said, but stressed at the same time that a possible Turkish attack could begin "at any time."

The Observatory quoted reliable sources as saying that the International Coalition Forces had entered 150 trucks carrying fuel for Coalition aircraft, Hummer vehicles and vehicles from the coalition forces and military bases, as well as military and logistical equipment, as part of the process of strengthening its presence and continuing to supply its troops within the bases.

In response to Erdogan's earlier threats, Syrian Kurdish parties considered Syria to be a "declaration of war" and called on international forces to prevent an attack on the region. The Syrian Democratic Forces vowed to respond strongly to any possible Turkish attack in Syria.
Kurdish officials denied the entry of groups of Peshmerga forces to areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces near the border with the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

For its part, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, that the Syrian Democratic forces rejected the request of the Kurdistan Regional Government of Iraq to deploy troops «Peshmerga Roga Ava» in its areas on the border with the region.
"The coalition continues to try to convince the Syrian democratic forces to approve their request," the observatory said.

The US forces, along with the "protection" convoys from Peshmerga-Roga-Ava, will cross the border crossing between Syria and Iraq to enter Qusd, after using the Simalaka crossing repeatedly to deliver their military aid to the Syrian Democratic Forces.
