Turkish forces come under fire from ISIS along Syrian border
2016-01-30
[Rudaw] Turkish soldiers clearing mines along its border with ISIS-controlled Syrian territory came under fire on Thursday.

Dogan news agency reported that there were no casualties on the Turkish side. ISIS bullets hit buildings near the border crossing in the southeastern Turkish town of Karkamis. The Turks returned fire with artillery and tanks.

Fire emanating from ISIS-controlled parts of Syria struck Turkish territory last January 18 in Kilis Province. On that occasion a school was hit killing a woman and injuring a student. The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
 responded by bombarding ISIS positions with artillery the following day.
It seems odd that ISIS would shoot at them while they were easing access across the border.
