07 August 2012, there are reports from northern Syria that hundreds of Turkish soldiers and armored vehicles crossed into Syria.  Turkey is denying such reports, but has already warned the Syrian government that they would invade on the pretext of fighting Kurdish Mujahideen.

There are reports that 40 of Turkish troops have been captured inside Syria, as well as the capture of a Turkish general in the Syrian city of Aleppo.

Witnesses to the Turkish raid said the troops stopped at a village, and were escorting a large number of militants who are not Turkish. The Turks also gave the militant group weapons including anti-aircraft missiles.

The name of the village is Jarablos (aka Cerablos), it is in the Kurdish dominated area of Syria.

Kurds have been fighting for almost a hundred years to regain their autonomous regions, which run through Turkey, Syria, Iraq and Iran.  The Kurds lost those areas when the British stabbed them in the back after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, after the end of World War One.
