Assad Forces Fire on Syrian Refugee Camp in Turkey

Assad forces fired at a Syrian refugee camp in southeastern Turkey today.

Haaretz reported:

Shots were fired Wednesday morning by Syrian forces toward a refugee camp in Turkey, located across the border from Syria, Turkish media reported.

CNN-Turk broadcast images showing Syrian forces firing at Turkish territory from a border surveillance building flying the Syrian flag near southeastern Turkey.

Moreover, Turkish media reported that Assad troops fired at Syrian refugees trying to cross the border with Turkey.

On Monday, Syrian forces fired into Turkey and Lebanon, killing two people in a Turkish refugee camp.

Meanwhile on Wednesday, Syrian activists have reported fresh violence in different parts of Syria less than 24 hours before a UN-brokered cease fire is due to go into effect.

The Local Coordination Committees said Wednesday there is shelling of several rebel-held neighborhoods in the central city of Homs.

   ANother Media Disinformation POCrap, do not believe anything about the Syrian civil war, it’s nothing but lies. Turkey has been attacking the Kurds in Northern Iraq for decades via military incursions. The West is aligning with the Muslim Brotherhood and AQ to take over the ME.

   It’s hard to argue that your actions are an “internal affair” when your guys are shooting into another country.
