A Syrian military source reported today, Sunday, that the United States has once again sent a convoy loaded with weapons, ammunition, and logistical equipment from Iraq to northeastern Syria.
The source told the Russian news agency “Novosti,” “U.S. forces brought in a military convoy consisting of 40 trucks from Iraq into Al-Hasakah Governorate via the Al-Waleed border crossing. The trucks were loaded with logistical equipment, weapons, ammunition, and fuel tanks.”
In a related development, another Syrian military field source informed “Novosti” on Saturday that a U.S. military convoy consisting of 43 trucks carrying military equipment and logistical supplies had entered Syria from Iraq and headed toward the U.S. base in Al-Hasakah Governorate.
An informed source also noted that U.S. forces in northern Syria have intensified their training exercises and have begun bringing in new equipment and technologies at a rapid pace, in addition to reinforcing their bases with watchtowers and air defense systems.
Since 2014, under the pretext of fighting ISIS, the U.S. military command and its allies have deployed their forces to northern Syria without official approval from Damascus.
To date, 24 Western coalition bases and four command headquarters have been established, and U.S. military bases in northeastern Syria regularly come under rocket and drone attacks from Iraqi forces.
