Turkish military fires into Syria after rocket hits mosque

The Turkish military fired back into Syria on Monday in retaliation
for mortar shells and a rocket from over the border that hit a mosque in
the town of Yayladagi, the provincial governor's office and local media
said.






Three
mortar rounds landed on Turkish soil, fired during fighting between the
Islamist rebels in Syria and forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar
Assad for control of the Armenian Christian village of Kasab, Turkey's
Dogan News Agency said.






Islamist
insurgents launched an offensive about ten days ago into Syria's
Latakia region on the Mediterranean coast, taking both the border
crossing and Kasab on the Syrian side.
