New Turkish military reinforcement enters the “de-escalation zone"

6,620 vehicles and over 10,000 soldiers have entered the “de-escalation zone” since February, SOHR says.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that a new Turkish military column of 35 vehicles and trucks carrying fuel, military and logistical supplies, has crossed into the Syrian territory, via Kafr Lusin crossing on Iskenderun border on Tuesday. The vehicles reportedly headed to Turkish positions in 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 3,215, in addition to the entry of hundreds of soldiers, according to SOHR.

From February 2 to date, SOHR activists monitored the entry of more than 6,620 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 10,300.
