The Turkish President announced a new operation to assist Syrian Rebels in the Idlib province of Syria near the Turkish border. The aim of this operation is to prevent an al Qaeda splinter group from creating a "terrorist corridor" on the Turkish border. Free Syrian Army (FSA) will be crossing the border into the region from Turkey, along with supplying air support from inside Turkey.
