The Turkish troops in northern Syria have become a target of all warring parties in the area in less than a month, after a rocket attack by a radical group killed two Turkish soldiers and wounded one in the region yesterday.
Why it matters: The attack might be a harbinger of a new front against Turkish troops in the region, where more than 60 Turkish soldiers have been killed in the clashes between Russia-backed Syrian government forces and Turkey-backed Syrian rebels in the past month.
