US Reduces Syria Troops After Assad Ousted

News summary

The United States plans to withdraw around 600 troops from Syria, reducing its presence from about 2,000 to around 1,000 or fewer and shutting down several operating bases in the coming months. This move is part of a global reassessment of U.S. military deployments. U.S. forces will continue working with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces to prevent an ISIS resurgence and act as a buffer against Turkish advances. The drawdown follows the ousting of President Bashar Assad and the installation of a new Islamist-led government in Syria. Regional instability persists, with recent attacks by Iranian-backed militias and concerns from Israel over increasing Iranian and Turkish influence. Israeli officials have conveyed fears to Washington that the reduction could embolden Turkey and undermine regional stability.
