Quite calm around #Reyhanli Hospital. Faces of citizens looking quite concerned but also really calm considering . Police have struck a cordon around the A&E ward & are treating people with utmost respect.
The governor's car spotted at the entrance.

#TSK Commandos stepping in into the A&E ward.

Brother of #TSK soldier in #Idlib has come to #Reyhanli hospital not knowing whether his brother was injured or not.
'They're not providing us with any information. We want to know how our relatives are doing. Are they injured or not?'

Anti-#Russia sentiment is also mounting as small gossiping circles here are discussing #Idlib and the #TSK presence. In between them, they're calling for 'action' against #Damascus and #Moscow.

Most police manning the cordon at #Reyhanli Hospital have boarded buses and are heading somewhere, leaving a few officers behind. (crowd exchanging rumours of them heading to Bab-al-Hawa crossing, though unconfirmed)

Nothing going on at Bab-Hawa #Cilvegozu crossing. A lone emergency vehicle going though towards #Syria, with what looks like a vehicle mounted air defence.
Police are back at #Reyhanli Hospital. Shift change.

An ambulance drove into A&E transporting an injured person. Unclear if #TSK, but soldiers and police helped the gurney into the ward. Didn't look too serious.
Citizens are still streaming to hospital. A woman nearby is in tears. Her husband, a soldier, was admitted yesterday.
