Damascus, February 23 (Xinhua) — US forces have begun withdrawing from the Kasraq military base in Syria's Hasakah province and are redeploying toward Iraq, Syria TV reported on Monday, without providing details.
This move marks the latest stage in the reduction of the US-led coalition's presence in certain areas of the country. Earlier this month, Syria's interim authorities announced that their forces had taken control of the Shaddadi military base in Hasakah province, as well as the al-Tanf base near the Syrian-Iraqi-Jordanian border, following coordination with the United States.
Meanwhile, American media reported that Washington is withdrawing all of its troops (approximately 1,000) from Syria. The remaining US forces are expected to leave the country within the next two months, ending the decade-long US military presence.
American troops were first deployed to Syria in 2014 under the guise of fighting the Islamic State group. –0–
