Hello, turkey has launched a Major Military operation psyched syria to move an historic on the man tomb. Soldiers destroyed the tomb and they have moved the relics and guards to a new site in syria. A turkish force has entered syria from a Border Crossing near kobane which was recently taken by Syrian Kurdish forces but turkeys Prime Minister the they were not informed of the operation. Isil forces were recently driven out of kobane, reports suggests trapped fighters have moved towards the tomb. Turkey says the the 3,000 fighters are still there and could move in. The tomb has significance to turkey a turkish unit has been at the tomb for decades and increased its presence during march. Isil said it was part ive campaign to destroy shrine. The turkish pardon me lament passed air position against isil one reason was to guard the tomb. Bernard, fill us in on how the whole operation unfolded. Reporter well, we are being told that it hand overnight saturday in to sunday. Perhaps as many as 700 turksish troops crossed the board never tanks and armored personnel carriers, they were given air cover by the turk irrelevant air force and traveled perhaps as many as 30kilometers in to syrian territory in to this tomb. Its about the size of a football pitch. Burial place of the grandfather of the first on the manual is tan. Thats why its so important to turks. But the turkish government had said that because fighting around there had intensified it needed to evacuate the 40 or so soldiers who had been guarding the tomb for the past eight or nine months. And this morning turkish Prime Minister gave a press conference and explained to turks why it was necessary now to go in and bring those soldiers out. Translator the operation started at 9 00 p. M. Local time last night. Two simultaneous operations were held of the first one started as our troops entered syria and moved towards the outpost and carried the necessary work to reach the tomb. At the same time at 9 02 p. M. Local time another unit entered syria from another area. Cleared a path to move to the tomb. Then started flying our flag on that new location. So bernard, what is the potential for blow back for the turks given that this is an area that has isil fighters around there and Kurdish Forces as well . Reporter well, i think turkey was able last year to changeover to rotate the troops around that shrine, even though it was a part of syrian territory that was threatened by isil fighters. But clearly the turkish government has decided that the fighting has become so intense there, that it need needed to bring these soldiers out. Turkey, of course, regards isil as a terrorist organization. Its been criticized in the past for perhaps allowing too readily allowing people to cross the board never to syria from turkey to fight. Because turkey wants to see the regime the fall of the regime of Bashar Alassad the syrian president. But turkey has become increasingly concerned especially since kobane, since isil fighters failed to take over kobane, turkey has become more concerned about isil fighters come bag in to turkey and this perhaps a reminder of the fact that there is this war going on on turkeys border. And there is turkey considers the threat or the fear that there may be some blow back towards turkey from whats happening over there in syria. For the moment, Bernard Smith updating us live there from istanbul, thank for that. Now to yemen now.
