Syria Assad regime bombs Turkish troops 29 soldiers dead February 28 at 8:46 am
In Syria during a civil war, 29 soldiers were killed in the Assad administration's bombing of Turkish troops in support of rebels. There has been growing speculation that Turkey will take on a major military operation there, increasing the tension.
In Syria, where the civil war continues, the Assad regime's troops are stepping up on the northwestern Idlib province, the last base of the rebel group, while Turkey, which supports the rebel group, will be forced to join the Assad government later this month. Tensions are growing as the military has indicated that it will eliminate military operations if it does not retreat outside the prefecture.
Governor of Hatay Province in southern Turkey, adjacent to Syria, announced early in the morning that Turkish troops stationed in Idlib province had been bombed by Assad's government and killed 29 soldiers.
The Turkish Ministry of Defense has announced that it has been hit five times by the Assad regime's army, but this is the first time more than 20 soldiers have died. As a result, there is growing speculation that Turkey will take on a major military operation in the future, increasing the degree of tension.
