The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that at least 8 people were killed and 8 others were injured in a massacre carried out by Turkish border guards.

The eight civilians massacred here included four women, three children and a man.

According to the report, Turkish soldiers opened fire on a group of civilians as they tried to cross into the Turkish territory at the Syrian – Turkish border in the countryside of Idlib; near Khirbet al-Joz village in the northern countryside of Jisr al-Shughur.

SOHR said the death toll is expected to rise because there are some people in critical situation.

SOHR recalled that the Turkish border guards have committed and are committing massacres against several refugees fleeing from the brutality of the regime and its bombardment since the beginning of the year, which have claimed the lives of tens of people and injured others.
