US forces begin withdrawal from major base in Syria towards Northern Iraq
US forces have begun withdrawing from the strategic Qasrak base in the Hasakah countryside of northeastern Syria. Military convoys have departed the site towards the Al-Walid border crossing with Iraqi Kurdistan
.Two days ago, dozens of vehicles and logistical equipment were seen leaving the base, which is one of the largest US military bases in Syria and holds strategic importance due to its location and direct control over the international highway, a vital artery for transporting supplies and trade between eastern and western Syria.
This development comes as part of a reduction in the US military presence in Syria, following the evacuation of other sites in recent weeks, including the Al-Tanf and Al-Shaddadi bases, as well as other bases in Deir ez-Zor.
