US forces reinforce presence in northeastern Syria
AL-HASAKAH, Syria (AA): The United States has sent military reinforcements to its bases in Syria’s northeastern Al-Hasakah province, local sources said on Monday.
A military convoy of 40 vehicles arrived in the province after crossing into Syria through Al-Waleed border terminal with Iraq on Sunday, the sources said.
The military reinforcements included armored vehicles, fuel tankers and ammunition to US bases and military posts in the towns of Rmelan, Tel Beydar and Ash-Shaddadi in Al-Hasakah province, the sources said.
In October 2019, during Türkiye’s Operation Peace Spring, the US forces withdrew from the area to reinforce their presence around oil wells in northeastern Syria.
Syria has been locked in a vicious civil war since early 2011 when the Bashar al-Assad regime brutally cracked down on pro-democracy protests.
