ISTANBUL — Turkish fighter jets carried out dozens of airstrikes in northern Syria and Iraq on Sunday, in what Turkish officials called an anti-terrorism campaign to root out militants they accused of orchestrating a deadly bomb attack last week in Istanbul.
The Kurdish-led militia that administers northeastern Syria said that 14 civilians and one fighter had been killed. The group, known as the Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF, vowed to strike back against Turkey but did not say when or how. In Syria, the United States worked with the SDF to fight the jihadis of the Islamic State group, and a small contingent of U.S. forces remains in the territory the group controls in northeastern Syria near the Turkish border.
