It was announced that two people were killed and 19 injured in the mortar and rocket attack from Syria to Gaziantep today.
8 people were injured in the attack on Öncüpınar Border Gate in Kilis yesterday.
These attacks have brought up the risks posed from Syria to Turkey in the recent period.
In recent years, we examined the loss of life caused by artillery and rocket fires from Syria to Turkey.
When we examine the news of the attacks in the Turkish press in the last three years, it is seen that the attacks are much more in 2022 than in previous years.
The Turkish Army carried out an operation called the Peace Spring in northern Syria in October 2019.
After this operation, only one attack from Syria was reported that year. The bullet that fell on Şanlıurfa Akçakale on 28 November caused the death of two people.

In 2021, no one was injured or killed in either of the recorded attacks. The first of the rockets fell on Kilis on March 18, and the second on Karkamış, Gaziantep on November 11.
Karkamış will be the most targeted and the most people will lose their lives in the following years.
The first loss of life in 2022 was also experienced in this district.
In the attack on 12 May, one person was killed and four others were injured. In response, after the best shots, the Ministry of National Defense executed “21 terrorists killed”.
On 16 August, in the second attack of the year, Carchemish was again targeted but unharmed.
On the other hand, on the same day, one person was killed and four people were injured in the shootings in the Birecik district of Şanlıurfa.
The Ministry of National Defense announced that 13 people were killed in the shootings in response.
On September 18, the Birecik district of Urfa was targeted, and one person was killed in the attack.
The last two attacks followed the bomb attack on Istiklal Street.
Turkey, which holds the YPG responsible for these attacks, carried out an air operation at the weekend both in Syria under the control of the YPG and in Iraq where the PKK is active.
According to the news of the New York Times, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), including the YPG, held the “Necessary conference” meeting.
On Sunday, November 20, when this statement was made, the Öncüpınar border gate in Kilis was bombed and eight people were injured.
On 21 November, Gaziantep’s Karkamış district was bombed again. In the attack, two people, including a child, lost their lives and 10 were injured.
