Turkish military deploys special forces along Syria border

The Maroon Berets, who arrived in Kilis on more than 10 military vehicles, were deployed in Kilis as well as other border provinces Hatay, Gaziantep, Shanlıurfa and Mardin.

They were dispatched to regions near Syrian areas which are under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and the Syrian pro-Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD).

Turkey's move to bolster its military presence along the Syria border comes in the wake of a suspected suicide bomb attack by ISIL in the border town of Suruc on Monday. The attack claimed the lives 32 people who gathered to travel Kobani to help rebuild the Syrian town after a major ISIL assault.
