Cell phone video filmed through the lens of what appears to be a PVS-14 shows Turkish ground troops engaging with alleged Kurdish positions in Iraq.

No additional context exists for this video. All we know is that these are Turkish ground forces engaging Kurdish forces. It's unclear if the Kurds are members of the YPG or PKK.

The situation between the Kurds and Turks is a volatile one at best. This video alone, by the nature of the title, will have one of the most toxic comments sections you've seen in the past few weeks. Take the comments section with a grain of salt, because if you thought the madness between Ukrainian and Russian bots in the comments section was insane, these are the guys that started that entire game.
