Tal Abyad Crossing Captured by Syrian Rebels

Rebels seized a border crossing from Syrian government troops, along the Turkish border, on Wednesday.

Heavy fighting had been happening, over the Tal Abyad crossing, since early Tuesday.

This marks the third border crossing, with Turkey, that the rebels have captured.

The captures are key, as they secure supply routes for the rebels, especially for weapons.

It also gives them safe zones that they control.
