The U.S.-led coalition hit Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) targets in northern Syria, located directly across Turkey's Syrian border from the southeastern province of Kilis, after receiving coordinates from Turkey on April 25.

President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an has said Turkey needs to use its coal and water resources more effectively as the country is unlikely to meet its rising energy demand through just renewable resources. 

The number of the tanks deployed along the Turkish-Syrian border has been increased as a precaution against recent Katyusha rockets fired by militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). 

With the new tanks, sent from Gaziantep Fifth Armored Brigade, tanks are now situated more closely together along the border.
