Turkey-backed FSA fighters capture village of Keklice 3km inside Syria

The Sultan Murad brigade, a Free Syrian Army group largely composed of Syrian Turkmen, has captured the village of Keklice 3km inside Syrian territory.

The group entered Syria on Wednesday morning alongside Turkish forces, after they began their operation to clear the border town of Jarablus of Islamic State militants.

Sources told Hurriyet the fighters were preparing for an offensive moving eastwards toward central Jarablus.
