#Aleppo citizen journalist Hassan Yassin filmed #TSK convoy parked near #Atareb following its targeting last night. Local contacts speculating convoy ready to deploy in #AlEiss 'as early as tonight or tomorrow' .
Earlier today, he interviewed eye witnesses who confirmed #TSK convoy had stopped near #Qamari as rocket salvos came from regime side. Craters near refugee camp filmed.
Here, #Aleppo journo Yassin, films the exact place where #TSK convoy was parked and turned around at #Qamari. The close distance from craters leave v. Little doubt that pro-regime forces deliberately targeted #Turkey forces, last night.
