If April 9, 1948 Is 'Deir Yassin Day', What'll Be April 9, 2012?

April 9, 2012 on the border between Syria and Turkey:

...shots from the Syrian side into Turkey injured three people, angering Ankara a day before a visit by international envoy Kofi Annan.  Two Syrians and a Turkish translator were wounded near a refugee camp in southeastern province of Kilis along the Syrian border, diplomatic sources said. The incident marked the first time Syrian fire from across the border hurt people on Turkish soil...

Actually, worse:

...Syrian forces fired across the border into a refugee camp near the town of Kilis in south-western Gaziantep province.  It was the first such incident since Turkey began sheltering thousands of fleeing Syrians last summer and the latest to fuel international alarm about the escalating crisis.  Mohammad Abdelqader, a refugee in the camp, told Reuters he had witnessed the shootings on Monday and that two Syrians had been killed and two more had been injured. Turkey is understood to have immediately protested...

And from Turkey, we go to Lebanon:-

The bloody conflict in Syria spilled across two tense borders Monday when gunfire from government forces killed a cameraman in Lebanon and wounded at least six people in a refugee camp in Turkey, authorities said.
