Turkish military in NW Syria | New military column heads to Turkish positions in “de-escalation zone”

Syrian Observatory activists have reported seeing a new Turkish military column of nearly 15 vehicles carrying military and logistical supplies crossing into the Syrian territory, via Kafr Lusin border crossing on the border with Iskenderun region in northern Idlib. The vehicles headed to the observation posts in Jabal Al-Zawiyah in southern Idlib.

 

As Turkey keeps sending more military reinforcement to NW Syria, the number of Turkish military units which have entered the “de-escalation zone” since the new ceasefire came into effect has risen to 8,015, in addition to the entry of hundreds of soldiers.

 

From February 2 to date, SOHR activists have monitored the entry of more than 11,515 trucks and military vehicles to the “de-escalation zone”, including tanks, personnel carriers, armoured vehicles, mobile bullet proof guard booths and military radars.

 

The Syrian Observatory points out that the number of vehicles and soldiers may be a bit lower or higher, as several vehicles, carrying soldiers and military and logistical supplies, have entered and left Syria individually.
