ISTANBUL — Turkey said deadly clashes in Syria’s northwest Idlib province on Monday killed at least eight Turkish soldiers and civilian contractors and scores of Syrian troops. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed to continue military operations, risking further entanglement in the Syrian imbroglio.
Turkish Defense Minister Huluski Akar said 76 “regime members were neutralized,” though the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights put the Syrian government forces’ death toll at 13.
