#1 The Turks I understand, since cross-border rounds are insult to their mustaches. But are the Syrians actually firing on someone/something specific? All these reports sound like stray rounds or inshallah fire control.

#2 Russia + prolly Iran aren't likely to care as long as there is no escalation by either side.

#3 The Turks I understand...But are the Syrians
It's probably Turk sponsored "freedom fighters". Erdogan wanted to start a war for a long time---and he's not crazy enough, yet, to start one with Israel.

#4 There's no question that the mortar rounds are being fired by the Syrian Govt. Each mortar round carries a message "F*ck you Turkey" and is personally signed by Assad.
