Activists: Bomb kills 2 Turkish troops in Syria
2018-01-31
[IsraelTimes] Syrian activists say two Ottoman Turkish soldiers were killed in a kaboom targeting a large military convoy moving through a rebel stronghold in northwestern Syria.

Opposition activist Abdelkafi Alhamdo says an kaboom, possibly a boom-mobile, destroyed the first vehicle in a Ottoman Turkish convoy as it entered his town of Atareb, in Aleppo province, on Tuesday.

The activist-run Thiqa News Agency and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group, report that two soldiers were killed.

There is no immediate confirmation of the attack from the Ottoman Turkish military.

The convoy was accompanied by an escort from the al-Qaeda-linked Levant Liberation Committee, which dominates a rebel stronghold spanning Idlib province and parts of Aleppo.

Ottoman Turkish forces first deployed in Idlib in November as part of an agreement with Russia and Iran to define their respective zones of influence in war-torn Syria.
