Syria's military has reportedly moved into a village near the border with Turkey and another near the boundary with Lebanon.



Reports are that hundreds of Syrians, some with gunshot wounds, have also fled into Lebanon.



Disturbances were also reported as funerals were held for about 20 people estimated killed in protests yesterday.



BBC reports say Syrian dissidents have planned a conference in the capital, Damascus, for Monday to discuss how to resolve the crisis.



The rebellion against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has gone on for more than three months and is estimated to have left more than thirteen hundred protesters dead.
