US-led forces resume normal patrols in Syria

JEDDAH, 03 December 2022, (TON): A US-led coalition fighting terrorists resumed regular patrols in Kurdish-held areas of northeast Syria after earlier Turkish airstrikes.

Patrols were reduced following the Turkish strikes that began on Nov. 20 in Kurdish-controlled areas of Syria and Iraq, in response to a deadly Istanbul bombing that Ankara blamed on Kurdish groups.

Hundreds of American troops are in Syria as part of the fight against remnants of Daesh.

Two four-vehicle patrols bearing US flags set off separately from a base in Rmeilan in Hasakah province. A vehicle belonging to the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces accompanied each convoy, which traveled in different directions toward Syria’s borders.
