A senior representative of the major component of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), that has been serving as the ground force in the international coalition’s fight against the Islamic State (ISIS) in Syria, said that Turkey’s fresh incursions into North and East Syria were likely to help boost ISIS activities in the region.

And even if, after authorities comb through his personal belongings, devices and social media history, we may never fully know what led him to carry out this carnage. All we know is that Tuesday's massacre is likely to go down as the  second deadliest school  shooting in the country's history after Sandy Hook in 2012. For families in the US, the uncanny familiarity of the latest tragedy is all but normalised This time, a lone gunman strapped in body armour, armed with a handgun and an  AR-15-style  semi-automatic rifle, entered the Robb Elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and slaughtered 21 victims. The military-grade ammunition caused such immense devastation that some victims were unrecognisable.
