Turkish troops deployed on Tuesday in an area in northwestern Syria to try to halt fighting between rival opposition factions opposed to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, witnesses and opposition forces said.
Turkish tanks and armored vehicles took up positions around Kafr Jana, a rugged area which the main extremist opposition group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) seized on Monday from two rival factions belonging to a coalition of rebel forces backed by Ankara.
