Turkish forces bring in new military reinforcement to the “de-escalation zone”

Syrian Observatory activists have reported seeing two new Turkish military columns crossing into the Syrian territory. Two convoys of nearly 110 military vehicles entered the area of “Putin – Erdogan” last night and this morning, via Kafr Lusin border crossing in northern Idlib. The vehicles headed to Turkish posts in the area

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 1,400, in addition to the entry of hundreds of soldiers.

From February 2 to date, SOHR activists monitored the entry of more than 4,800 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.
