Seven protesters killed in north Syria clashes with Turkish forces: new toll

Clashes between armed protesters and guards of Turkish positions in Syria’s north killed seven people, a medical source and a war monitor said Tuesday in a revised toll.

The protests Monday in the Turkish-controlled border strip followed a rampage a day earlier against Syrian businesses and properties in central Turkey, where a Syrian man had been accused of harassing a child.

“Seven protesters have been killed… during exchanges of fire with people guarding Turkish positions,” the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
