Cross-border raids and bombardment of camps has been going on for months, maybe years, both from the Turkish and from the Iranian sides. Until it disappeared KurdMedia was reporting this stuff regularly.

No good can come of this. Of course, the Turks are playing it down, both in the CNN article and here:

but still - a 'hot pursuit' scenario involving 'thousands' of troops?
