Ankara said it will retaliate after three of its soldiers were killed in a suspected air strike by the Syrian Air Force in the province of Aleppo.
The attack occurred last night during a Turkey-backed militants operation in northern Syria, the Turkish military said in a statement. 10 other soldiers were wounded in the air strike that it assessed to have been carried out by Syrian regime forces. No details about the location of air strike have been provided.
It is clear that some people are not happy with this battle Turkey has been fighting against Daesh (Islamic State). This attack will surely have a retaliation, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told reporters on Thursday.
7 other Turkish soldiers were wounded in Syria later on Thursday, Turkish Dogan news agency said. There is no information who is responsible for the second attack.
Current escalations between Turkey and the Syrian government and between Turkey and Kurdish YPG forces in northern Syria took place over the key Syrian town of al-Bab that is currently under control of ISIS.
Read history about the “young Turks” and genocide. Erdogan is warming up for more of the same. He is not a good NATO ally. Turkey has been one for many years, but since Erdogan, it’s over.
Very bad consequences for the US.
In this case, Syria appears to have said they made the first strike. No admission on the 2nd.
BUT, Turkey was NOT Invited into Syria. Turkey wants a pipeline through Iraq and Syria and are committed to gain and defend territory to accomplish that.
Very very bad situation.
I’m thinking that since Turkey is part of NATO and could drag us into even more stuff.....
Syria going to be the start of World War IV?
[The problem is the Turks have no right to be inside Syria.]
Just like Obama putting U.S. resources there .... this is not looking good. And Drudge has link on a U.S. soldier getting killed in Syria today? I haven’t clicked the link yet.
First U.S. service member killed in Syria
Bingo.
Turkey’s men got caught with their pants down on the wrong side of the border.
Oops...
How is that Syria’s fault?
As a complaint against Syria on this, it’s a turkey.
So this is where world war 3 begins?
could be.

Human understanding and vision is a bit blurred and short sighted.
Erdogan is on a campaign of resurrecting Islamism (domestically) and power (domestic & international). No doubdt. This is also I don't want him as a 'friend' to Syria-Iran alliance.
When was the last time Obie need that approval?
The Uniparty did away with the checks and balances of the Executive Branch, the Legislative Branch and the Judicial Branch.
Such outdated ideas.........the silent coup really took form 8 years ago. /preaching to the choir
THey will recover their fortitude once Mr. Trump is sworn in.
I hope so. Gotta boot out some folks. Gonna be a bunch looking for new jobs soon......
When Damascus is finally a ruinous heap, I guess some people will start paying attention.
“Officially” KIA in Syria, at least.
Meaning in a U.S.G.I. uniform with a flag patch.
Anybody who thinks he was the first KIA including sheep-dipped contractors working “off the books” is naïve.
Agree.
WWW-III began with Operation Masterdom
in Vietnam
on September 13, 1945
Lots of bad players. FACT
I think Obama wants the Syria situation to get worse, but that’s my tinfoil....
