Friday’s attack was Israel’s first attack on Syria since US President Joe Biden took office. Israel has justified the attacks inside Syria, claiming Iran and Hezbollah pose a security risk.
On January 13, Israeli warplanes carried out intense air attacks in eastern Syria apparently hitting positions and arms depots of Iran-backed forces, killing at least 57 fighters and wounding dozens – the worst attack in years.
A convoy of 40 trucks and armor vehicles said to have entered Syria from Iraq
A large US military convoy entered northeastern Syria on Thursday, Syrian state news agency SANA reports, citing sources on the ground.
According to the report, the convoy included some 40 trucks and armored vehicles and was backed from the air by helicopters.
At the same time, SANA also reports that some 200 US troops arrived in the Hasakeh province on helicopters.
According to the report, the troops are set to deploy on the nearby oilfields, with Kurdish-controlled eastern Syria rich in energy resources.
