Also, a column of 60 trucks with armored military vehicles, heavy weapons, artillery pieces, and closed boxes, as well as fuel tankers, entered Syria from northern Iraq.
Another 20 trucks entered the Qasrak base with a load of military and logistical equipment, to reinforce that enclave. According to local sources, there are nine US bases in Syria: one in the Al-Tanf area on the border with Iraq and Jordan, two in the oil fields in the countryside of Deir Ezzor province, and six in Hasakeh.
Last week, International Coalition forces sent military, logistical and medical reinforcements aboard a cargo plane to their base in Al-Shaddadi, south of Hasakeh.
