Turkish reinforcement: Turkey brings in nearly 1,300 military units to NW Syria since the new ceasefire came into effect

Syrian Observatory activists have reported seeing two new Turkish military columns crossing into the Syrian territory. Two convoys of nearly 90 military vehicles entered the area of “Putin – Erdogan”, via kafr Lusin border crossing in northern Idlib.

As Turkey keeps sending more military reinforcement to NW Syria, the number of Turkish military units, which entered the “de-escalation zone” since the new ceasefire came into effect, has risen to 1,290, in addition to the entry of hundreds of soldiers.

From February 2 to date, SOHR activists monitored the entry of more than 4,690 trucks and military vehicles to the Syrian territory, including tanks, personnel carriers, armored vehicles, mobile bulletproof guard booths and military radars. Meanwhile the number of Turkish soldiers who were deployed during the same period in Idlib and Aleppo exceeded 9,650.
