Turkey Closes Border Crossings with Syria Following Violent Unrest

The move comes after attacks on Syrian refugees in Turkey and retaliatory protests in Syria.

Turkish authorities detained 474 individuals involved in anti-Syrian attacks.
Violence in Turkey was triggered by social media reports of a Syrian man abusing a child.
Protests erupted in northwest Syria, leading to clashes with Turkish troops.
At least four people were killed in the Syrian city of Afrin during the unrest.
Turkish President Erdogan condemned the violence and blamed opposition parties for inciting xenophobia.
