A total of 845 square kilometers area have been taken under control in the last 20 days of Operation Euphrates Shield by the Turkey-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters, Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) said on Monday.

The operation recently made it possible for thousands of Syrians taking shelter in Turkey for years to return to Jarablus to enjoy Qurban Bayram in their home land after the town was cleared from the Daesh terrorist group by the operation forces.

The ongoing operation, which was launched on August 24 by TSK and Free Syrian Army forces (FSA), aims to improve security, support coalition forces and eliminatethe terror threat along Turkey's border using FSA fighters backed by Turkish armor, artillery and jets.
