Saudi Arabia is preparing to deploy an initial force of around 600 Syrian special forces next week to its border with Yemen amid its escalating war of aggression in Sanaa, with discussions reportedly including a much larger deployment.
￭ According to AP, Riyadh specifically insisted that the recruits hold Syrian citizenship, with the exception of foreign fighters who joined armed factions during the American war in Syria.
￭ Syrian HTS military advisers have already arrived in Saudi Arabia to train Saudi-backed Yemeni forces, while 36 regime military officials visited a Saudi-backed Yemeni joint operations room in Jeddah for briefings on front lines and operational areas.
￭ The HTS delegation led by the commander of Division 82 Khaled Khatab also spent two weeks in Saudi Arabia.
