US doubled troop numbers in Syria ahead of Assad’s ouster, Pentagon says
The Pentagon revealed 2,000 US troops are in Syria, over double the previously reported 900. This undisclosed increase, attributed to temporary rotations, has been in effect for months and is unrelated to the recent fall of the Assad regime or increased ISIS activity, though it aims to counter the group. The move has prompted varied reactions from neighboring countries.
