Ankara: The Turkish Armed Forces have killed a total of 55 ISIS militants and destroyed three rocket launchers and three cars in northern Syria.

Military sources told Turkey's Anadolu Agency (AA) on Sunday that the Turkish army spotted ISIS targets north of Aleppo and destroyed the targets with multiple-launch rocket systems on Saturday evening.

The sources also said that the strikes happened after a recon operation in the Baragitah area where Turkish security forces along with international coalition forces often target the ISIS.

Turkish towns and provinces have been repeatedly struck by fire from across the Syrian border since mid-January. In the Kilis province alone the local governor has confirmed that a total of 20 people have been killed and almost 70 others wounded by rockets which have fallen inside Turkish territory.
