US to deploy 2,500 troops to Syria, Russian jets intercept US reconnaissance aircraft over Syrian airspace, Israeli jets bomb Damascus "ConflictWatch Feed Rojava"

Turkish newspaper Yeni Safak reported on 18 January that Washington intends to deploy around 2,500 troops to northern Syria. "Following Turkiye's relentless struggle against the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a series of controversial steps have been taken consecutively by the US," the report reads, adding that Washington "has recently announced the deployment of 2,500 troops to northern regions of Syria." "Several sources reveal that the 2,500 US soldiers, having completed their training, are scheduled to be deployed to Syria and Iraq for a minimum of nine months," the Turkish report goes on to say. According to the report, their "primary objective" will be to support Kurdish militants, particularly the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), who are military aligned with the Kurdish Peoples Protection Units (YPG), a branch of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which is considered a terrorist organization by Ankara.

Two Syrian soldiers were killed after alleged Israeli air strikes targeted sites in the Damascus area early Wednesday morning, according to the Syrian state news agency Sana.

The strike was reported to have originated from the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, according to a Syrian military source. 

Syrian air defences confronted missiles Israel launched at 12:25 am from the Golan Heights and "shot down most of them," the source said.

Photos from the area showed multiple fires after the air strikes. 

The last Israeli air strikes to hit Syria were reported about two weeks ago, when the Israeli military hit a Syrian air defence battery after a Syrian air defence missile exploded mid-air over southern Israel. 

The Israeli military has made no comment following the latest attacks, a stance it has maintained following previous assaults on Syria.

In recent years pro-Iranian militias have expanded their influence in Syria's northern Aleppo province.
