Reuters quotes Rafik Hariri Center Resident Senior Fellow Aaron Stein on ISIS’ change in tactics with regards to Turkey:
“This incident is a bit different. In previous attacks, it was Turks who crossed into Syria to fight Kurds and then crossed back to attack Kurdish targets,” said Aaron Stein, senior fellow at Atlantic Council’s Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East.
“It’s different in terms of intentions and in terms of its targets,” he told Reuters.
