Syria’s defense ministry said on Thursday that the army had taken control of the Al-Tanf base after the withdrawal of US forces deployed there as part of the coalition against ISIS.
“Through coordination between the Syrian and American sides,” army units have taken control of the base “and have begun deploying along the Syrian-Iraqi-Jordanian” border nearby, a defense ministry statement said.
Two Syrian military sources told AFP on Wednesday that US forces had withdrawn from the base to Jordan.
