The Turkish offensive into north-eastern Syria (2024–2025) refers to a series of military operations launched by Turkey and the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) against the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) amid the fall of the Assad regime. Beginning on 30 November 2024 with Operation Dawn of Freedom, the offensive aims to expand Turkish-controlled territory, weaken the SDF, prevent Kurdish autonomy in post-Assad Syria, and align with Turkish initiatives to establish a 30-kilometer deep buffer zone in the north of the country. Major battles include the 2024 Manbij offensive and the 2024 Kobani clashes, with ongoing fighting into 2025.
