Turkish troops enter ISIS held town in Syria: monitor

BEIRUT: (APP) Turkish troops and allied Syrian rebels on Saturday entered the Islamic State-held town of Al-Bab in northern Syria, as government forces also approached the jihadist bastion, a monitor said.

"Turkish forces and allied rebels in the Euphrates Shield campaign entered the western edge of the town and took control of a number of areas," the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
