ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Turkish armored vehicles rolled into the strategic Syrian town of Cobanbey in northwestern Aleppo province, Turkey’s official Anadolu news agency reported Saturday, as Ankara continues its Operation Euphrates Shield, whose aim Turkey says is to wipe out the Islamic State (ISIS) from its borders.





Anadolu quoted unidentified military sources as saying that the push into Cobanbey – strategically located on the Turkish border and surrounded by the Syrian cities of Jarablus, Azaz and Al-Bab -- was in support of the Free Syrian Army (FSA), which Turkey has recently been backing.





Cobanbey, which has frequently changed hands between the FSA and ISIS, is again in the hands of the FSA, Anadolu quoted its sources as saying.





Turkey launched Operation Euphrates Shield on August 24.





Earlier Saturday, Turkish forces opened a new front in their Syria campaign when a convoy of Turkish military vehicles crossed the border at a point 60 kilometers west of Jarablus and north of al-Bab.





Turkish tanks and armored vehicles crossed the border at al-Rai, according to Turkey’s Dogan News Agency.





FSA forces had taken control of some villages and were fighting for control of the town of al-Rai.





Also Saturday, three rockets fired from ISIS-controlled territory in this area landed in the center of the Turkish city of Kilis. There were no reports of casualties but 21 people have died from ISIS rocket fire on Kilis since January, Dogan reported.
