Syrian War Report – June 13, 2018: Italian Troops Deployed In Eastern Syria

The Syrian military is deploying additional Pantsir-S1 short to medium range air defense systems in southern and eastern Syria, according to pro-government sources.
Additional
Pantsir-S1 systems had been deployed in the area near the
Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, the Hezbollah media wing in Syria
said on June 12. This move is clearly aimed at strengthening the
air-defense capabilities of the government forces in case if Israel
reacts to a military operation against militants in Daraa with
airstrikes.
On
June 11, reports also appeared that additional Pantsir-S1 systems
will be deployed in the province of Deir Ezzor where tensions are
steadily growing between government forces and the US-led coalition.
Separately,
the Syrian Army and its allies repelled another ISIS attack in the
Homs-Deir Ezzor desert; this time in the Humaymah-T2-Muazilah
triangle. The situation on the western bank of the Euphrates remains
tense.
Italian
troops have deployed in the province of Deir Ezzor to support the
Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the Turkish media reported on June 12
citing local sources.
According
to the report, the troops entered Syria from Iraq, reached the city
of Hasakah and then arrived at the US military base in the Omar oil
field area in the province of Deir Ezzor. The number of Italian
troops is unknown.
The
SDF has captured Tal al-Jayer, Hulwah and Daral Khattab from ISIS
west of the town of Dashishah, near the Iraqi border. Summing up the
recent SDF advances, the group has captured over 20 settlements.
