March 25, 2014 -- (TRN) -- In a dramatic and unanticipated change in the civil war situation inside Syria, neighboring Turkey has sent tanks into the Kasaba region of Syria and begun attacking Syrian Army positions. In addition, Turkey fired a surface-to-surface missile into Haram, Syria, where it landed in a residential neighborhood.  The explosion reportedly killed numerous civilians and injured dozens more.   Photo of missile hit below.   Turkish military tanks have targeted Syrian army bases in the Kasab border town, where the Syrian army has been battling numerous militant groups to secure the border. According to Al-Alam reporter in Syria’s Latakia, a huge explosion was heard at a Syrian army base near Kasab after Turkish military targeted the area.   The explosion has been followed with Turkish military firing several other rockets at Syrian army bases, the reporter said.  At least one of those rockets is reported to have landed in Haram as shown in the photos below. The report said, Al-Qaeda’s al-Nusra front have raised their flags over several Turkish military tanks near Kasab, as a sign of having the area under their control. Syria has been criticizing Turkey for ‘covering for’ militant groups and helping them occupy the Syrian border. On Sunday, Turkish military shot down a Syrian fighter jet at the Syrian side of the common borders with Turkey, as it was engaged in fighting with extremist foreign-backed militants. Kasab and its surrounding villages are Armenian Christian-dominated areas, and their value is primarily because of their location near the Turkish border. Having the town in their control, militant factions not only are able to smuggle in arms for themselves, but are able to demand a cut when other factions use those crossings.   Below is a photo of the missile hit in Harem. Analysts are now wondering if this fighting between Turkey and Syria is part of a deal between the US and Russia over the Crimea situation:" Russia gets Crimea, the US gets to go after Syria.   Given the fact that Turkey is a member of NATO, the US will be obligated to get involved in a war between Turkey and Syria.   Quite convenient.     Correction: Edited 3/26/14 at 7:43 AM EDT to correct Harem, Turkey to Haram, Syria and missile was launched by Turkey, not Syria.
