Iranian-backed militias entered Syria overnight from Iraq and were heading to northern Syria to beef up beleaguered Syrian army forces battling armed opposition groups, Reuters cited two Syrian army sources, APA reports.
Dozens of Iran-aligned Iraqi Hashed al-Shaabi fighters from Iraq also crossed into Syria through a military route near Al Bukamal crossing, a senior Syrian army source told Reuters.
“These are fresh reinforcements being sent to aid our comrades on the front lines in the north,” he said adding that the militias included Iraq’s Kata’ib Hezbollah and Fatemiyoun groups.
