Reports from Arab news outlets indicate that approximately 60 trucks have entered Syria from Iraq.
Al-Arabiya and Al-Hadath have highlighted that the US-led coalition has dispatched its largest convoy of weapons and logistical supplies to its forces in Syria since the Syrian government led by President Bashar Assad fell earlier this month.
The trucks, loaded with supplies, reportedly crossed into Syria via the al-Waleed border checkpoint on Monday. They are en route to coalition bases located in the Syrian provinces of Al-Hasakah and Deir ez-Zor.
In light of escalating US military activity, there is a continuous flow of arms and supplies being sent to coalition forces, including the deployment of armored vehicles and personnel around the cities of Deir ez-Zor, Raqqa, and Kobani, as noted by Al-Arabiya.
Additionally, the network reiterated that since Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham and other militant groups seized control of Damascus on December 8, a total of six convoys, comprising around 210 trucks, have already made their way into Syria.
This comes amid Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's promise to “bury” Kurdish militants. Earlier this month, he urged the US, a NATO ally, to reconsider its support for the People's Protection Units, asking its partners to choose between backing Türkiye or aiding Kurdish militants. The YPG and other Kurdish factions are active near the Turkish and Iraqi borders.
The Pentagon recently reported an increase in US military personnel in Syria, with current figures around 2,000—approximately 1,100 more than previously disclosed. Since the deployment of US troops to Syria a decade ago to combat Islamic State, their presence has primarily been concentrated in the northeast, an area rich in oil resources.
The tense situation in Syria persists as clashes continue between US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, largely composed of Kurdish militias, and various groups aligned with Turkey. Kurdish factions like the YPG, which have been significant partners for the US in combating Islamic State, are labeled as terrorists by Turkey.
The US-led coalition has stated it has conducted multiple rounds of airstrikes against Islamic State positions since December 8. However, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service claimed last week that there is supposed collaboration between Washington and IS. The SVR asserted that the jihadists are being forewarned about airstrikes to minimize casualties and suggested that the US intends to leverage Islamic State militants to conduct terrorist activities against Russian bases in Syria.
