Turkish bombs kill 40 civilians in Syria: agency
Turkish shelling and air strikes killed at least 40 civilians in Syria on Sunday, the fifth day of an incursion against Islamic State group jihadists and Kurdish militia, a monitor said.
“At least 20 civilians were killed and 50 others wounded by Turkish artillery fire and air strikes on Sunday morning at Jeb el-Kussa,” a village south of Jarabulus, said Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

A Britain-based Observatory said that the bombardment had targeted an area south of the former IS border stronghold of Jarabulus.
