ALNOOR TV Turkey Launches Fourth Operation Into Syria (Spring Shield)
Ankara said today that it had launched Operation Spring Shield against the Syrian Arab Army on a day that saw Turkey down two Russian-made Syrian air force jets and Russian President Vladimir Putin agree to meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on March 5 over the unfolding Idlib crisis.
Turkey said it had destroyed several air defense systems, more than 100 tanks and killed 2,212 members of the Syrian forces, including three top generals in drone strikes since Feb 27.
At least one Turkish drone was shot down by Syrian forces today; Syria claimed that it shot down three. In the downing of the Syrian jets, the pilots were reported to have parachuted to safety.
The dramatic escalation pitting NATO member Turkey against the far weaker Syrian Arab army followed Feb. 27 airstrikes that killed at least 36 Turkish soldiers in Idlib, sending shock waves throughout Turkey.

Turkey Launches Fourth Operation Into Syria (Spring Shield)
Turkey said at least 21 “Iranian-backed terrorists” were also “neutralized” in Idlib, in a reference to Afghan, Pakistani and other Iranian-backed Shiite militias that have been fighting alongside Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s forces in Idlib. The Turkish military also targeted Syria’s Nayrab military airport in Aleppo, rendering it unusable, Anadolu said.
Earlier today, Syria said its northwestern airspace was closed and that any aircraft or drone that violated it would be treated as hostile and shot down.
As war raged on in Idlib, a humanitarian drama was unfolding at Turkey’s border with Greece.
On Thursday, Turkey announced that its borders were open for millions of Syrian and other refugees in Turkey to leave. It justified the move on the grounds that it could no longer cope with the burden, with up to a million civilians fleeing regime violence in Idlib remaining massed along Syria's border with Turkey. Thousands of migrants have gathered near Greece's Kastanies border crossing, some getting there by taking free rides on buses organized by the Turkish government. Turkey’s state-owned Arabic-language broadcasting channel, TRT Arabi, provided maps for migrants showing various routes to reach the border.
The Turkish interior minister said that 76,358 people had left Turkey through the western city of Edirne in Thrace. The UN’s International Organization for Migration said 13,000 people had gathered at Pazarkule and Ipsala crossings on the Turkish side.
