SOHR reports ongoing Turkish deployment to Syria

Nearly 15 Turkish vehicles carrying military and logistical supplies head to “de-escalation zone”, SOHR reports.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported 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 in the early hours of Saturday morning. The vehicles headed to the observation posts in Jabal Al-Zawiyah in southern Idlib.

According to SOHR, 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 8,155, in addition to the entry of nearly 10,000 Turkish soldiers.

From February 2 to date, SOHR activists have monitored the entry of more than 11,655 trucks and military vehicles to the “de-escalation zone”, including tanks, personnel carriers, armoured vehicles, mobile bullet proof guard booths and military radars.
