A convoy of US military forces, consisting of 20 vehicles and trucks, entered the base in Hasakah in northeastern Syria from the Ain al-Asad base in Iraq early Thursday, according to Syrian media.
The convoy, protected by air support, included US Special Forces.
Local sources reported that the US military has recently deployed a significant number of combat troops from the Ain al-Assad base in Anbar province and the Harir base in southern Erbil.
Meanwhile, clashes have escalated between US-backed Syrian Kurds and Turkish-backed forces in northeastern Syria.
Syrian armed opposition groups, led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), overthrew the government of President Bashar al-Assad earlier this month, soon after they launched a blitz attack against the central government.
