The Syrian army is moving into the town of Jisr al-Shughour, where the government says 120 security personnel were killed. The impending military action has prompted a new flood of refugees to cross into Turkey. According to Turkey, more than 1,200 Syrians have crossed the border in anticipation of the crackdown. The Syrian government says armed gangs killed the security forces, but others say it was a mutiny sparked by deserting soldiers, and that loyal troops then massacred civilians.
