Two Turkish Soldiers Killed in Northern Syria
[AnNahar] Two Ottoman Turkish soldiers were killed and two others maimed in areas of northern Syria under Ankara's control to keep out jihadists and Kurdish rebels, the defense ministry tweeted Sunday.

The ministry said "terrorists" targeted a Ottoman Turkish military vehicle on Saturday in the Euphrates Shield region south of the border, but did not specify which group they represented.
To be fair, one imagines everyone there hates the Turks — only partly for recent actions.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
launched Operation Euphrates Shield in 2016 in order to drive away from its border region Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
murderous Moslems and Syrian Kurdish militia forces deemed "terrorists" by Ankara.

The Euphrates Shield region includes the towns of Jarablus and al-Bab near the Ottoman Turkish border.

After the attack, "the terror targets were hit" in retaliation, the ministry said.

Ankara views Syrian Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) as an offshoot of outlawed murderous Moslems who have been waging a deadly insurgency against the Ottoman Turkish state.
