The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that almost 200 Turkish military tanks and armored vehicles have entered Aleppo and Idlib since Sunday morning.

The Observatory said it monitored this morning the entry of a large Turkish military column to the Syrian territory via Kafr Lusin border crossing.

"The column of 40 military vehicles including tanks, personnel carriers, armored vehicles and military and logistical supplies, headed to the south but no information has been reported yet about its destination," it reported.

Meanwhile, Turkish Anadolu Agency said that the Turkish army sent new military reinforcements its units on the border with Syria.

This comes as Syria's regime continues to advance in areas under the opposition factions' control in Idlib and Aleppo.

Earlier, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara is losing patience with the military assault in Syria's Idlib region, adding that Russia is violating agreements that should put an end to violence in Syria, especially in Idlib.

"We will do whatever necessary if these bombardments do not stop,” he stressed.

Israeli forces shot dead two Palestinians in the northern West Bank city of Jenin, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

Commenting on the incident, the Israeli army official said its troops exchanged fire with armed militants during a “counterterrorism” operation Wednesday in the Jenin area, killing one of the gunmen.

According to Wafa, the official Palestinian news agency, one of the slain men was 17 years old. Four others were injured by Israeli fire during the raid, it said.

Violence has flared in the West Bank since the Israel-Hamas war erupted 12 months ago.

According to Palestinian Health Ministry data, over 750 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in the territory since the war began. The northern West Bank, including Jenin and Tulkarem, has seen some of the worst violence.
