Turkey's government says it has bombed Islamic State (IS) targets in Syria.
A day earlier the two sides exchanged fire near the border, with one soldier killed and two more injured.
Turkey
is to let the US carry out air strikes against the Islamic State group
from a key military base near the Syrian border, US officials have said.
Turkish police also launched raids to arrest suspect IS militants on Friday morning in 140 locations in Istanbul.
The
raids were carried out in 26 districts of the city and involved 5,000
officers. Members of the the youth wing of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and of a far-left group were also arrested.
The office of Turkey's Prime Minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, said members of militant groups were arrested in 13 provinces.
The
state-run Anadolu news agency said some of the arrests were made in
Ankara, Izmir and Sanliurfa province, near the Syrian border.
In a separate statement said Mr Davutoglu's office said that F-16 jets had hit three IS targets in Syria.
It
is the first time Turkey has launched air raids against targets in
Syria since IS began its advance through Iraq and Syria in 2013.
Turkish
state TV said that the jets had not violated Syrian air space as they
attacked the border town of Havar, next to the Turkish town of Kilis.
Turkey has seen a surge in IS-linked violence close to the Syrian border this week
The US is expected to step up bombing raids against IS after reaching an agreement with Turkey to use the Incirlik airbase.
The
agreement was finalised in a phone call between President Barack Obama
and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday. It was
confirmed by US officials speaking on condition of anonymity.
The use of the Incirlik airbase broadens the US military's ability to strike IS targets - one US official told the New York Times it was a "game changer".
Once
used in raids against former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, the base is
near to Turkey's long border with Syria, and significantly narrows the
distance to the IS stronghold of Raqqa.

This agreement on Incirlik air base goes beyond providing the US-led coalition against IS with a geographical advantage.
Turkey
has been in the coalition since from the beginning but was not fully
cooperating due to its differing views over the Syrian crisis.
The
Turkish government argued that the first priority of an international
coalition should be removing President Assad rather than attacking IS.
Having the Turkish government clearly backing the coalition brings extra
political clout against IS.
The Turkish government, which has
until the beginning of this year been accused of turning a blind eye by
allowing IS fighters to cross its borders, was under huge international
pressure to open the airbase.
The negotiations between the US and
the Turkish government came to fruition as recent attacks by IS against
Turkish and Kurdish targets added an urgency to the response. The deal marks a step up in Turkey's involvement in the campaign against IS.
Ankara
has faced criticism at home and abroad for not doing enough against the
extremist group, despite being part of the international coalition
fighting IS.
Thursday saw a deadly exchange of fire between Islamic State and Turkey near Kilis.
Protests against the attack in Suruc have taken place in cities across Turkey
IS fighters attacked a Turkish border post, with Turkey's army retaliating with heavy weaponry, killing one of the militants.
The
incident comes days after the deadly bombing in the predominantly
Kurdish town of Suruc, in which 32 people were killed, mostly university
students.
The Turkish authorities blamed the attack on IS, with
the bomber identified as a 20-year-old believed to have travelled to
Syria last year with the help of an IS-linked group.
Kurdish
militants said they killed two police officers in the city of Celanpinar
as retaliation, accusing the policemen of having collaborated with IS.
Turkey would take "all necessary measures" to protect national security following the attacks, the prime minister's office said.
