Turkish tanks fire into the Syrian territory after an attack on a military outpost on the Turkish side of the border. The governor of Kilis province claimed at least one ISIL terrorist was killed by the Turkish tank fire. This came after one Turkish soldier died and two others wounded by a fire from an ISIL-controlled Syrian region. Turkish F-16 fighter jets were also scrambled to the border region following the clashes. The latest unrest in Turkey has raised fears of a spillover of violence from neighboring Syria. The Turkish government has already started beefing up security at its frontier with its war-torn Arab neighbor. The border has served as an open gate over the past few years for militants seeking to join extremist groups in Syria.

[29 July 2012] West Bank under fire - Remember Palestine - English A number of NGOs including UNICEF and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights as well as Palestinian Al Haq and the Israeli Yesh Din, issued yet another statement on the continued rise in settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The statement which states there has been an astounding 150% increase in settler violence since 2009 comes just a few days after a lethal attack on a Palestinian who was repeatedly stabbed by settlers after just being shot by Israeli soldiers. A report from the Palestine Center published this year identifies three potential causes for settler violence; it\'s response to Israeli government actions; it\'s a product of demographics and security arrangements; it is a response to Palestinian violence. The report also states that while Israeli settler violence is not new, the extent and frequency with which it is perpetrated today is new.
