2005 GMT: Activists say the Syrian military has occupied another village in northwest Syria near the border with Turkey.
Troops and tanks moved into Najia today. The village is near Jisr al-Shughour, the flashpoint town cleared out by the military after dozens of people --- activists says civilians, the regime says security forces --- were killed in clashes.
The military also reportedly moved into Qusair near the Lebanese border.
