TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Pentagon on Thursday, December 19, 2024, said it has 2,000 U.S. troops in Syria, more than twice the 900 it has previously said it has, as quoted from Reuters. The additional troops are considered temporary forces that were sent to support the mission against Islamic State militants.
ISIS previously seized swathes of territory in Syria and neighboring Iraq before U.S.-backed local forces defeated them.
Pentagon spokesperson Major General Pat Ryder told journalists that the number of troops in Syria is approximately 2,000 and “have been for at least a few months.”
"The additional numbers... are considered temporary forces that are there to support the D-ISIS mission, to support the forces that are deployed there longer-term," Ryder said, referring to the mission to defeat the Islamic State, as quoted from CNA.
The U.S., which also said it has some 2,500 troops in Iraq, has for years carried out periodic strikes to help prevent an ISIS resurgence.
It has, however, stepped up strikes since the ousting of Bashar al-Assad earlier this month, hitting areas previously shielded by Syrian and Russian air defenses.
On December 8—the day the rebels took the capital Damascus—Washington announced strikes on more than 75 IS targets that the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said were aimed at ensuring it "does not seek to take advantage of the current situation to reconstitute in central Syria."
And on Monday, CENTCOM said U.S. forces killed 12 militants from the group in strikes it said were carried out "in former regime and Russian-controlled areas."
