#####INCURSION

Welcome to the Voice of America’s News Words.

In October, U.S. President Trump ordered a withdrawal of American forces from northern Syria.

Incursion

The order paved the way for a Turkish incursion into northern Syria.

Turkish military official, said the operation targeted terrorist groups.

But the human rights group Amnesty International says the operation has been used to crack down on Turkish opposition politicians and activists.

An incursion is an invasion or attack.

It is the act of entering another’s territory.

And, it is the sudden arrival of someone into an area where they do not belong.
