On March 20, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) deployed fresh reinforcements near the key town of Ayn Issa in the northern Raqqa countryside.
According to local sources, the reinforcements, which arrived in the morning, included dozens of troops and around a 100 military vehicles. These forces were reportedly deployed inside the 93th Brigade Base, southwest of Ain Issa.

A day earlier, clashes between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Turkish forces broke out north of Ain Issa. The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) claimed that both side suffered causalities.
Ayn Issa, one of the larges towns in northern Raqqa, hosts a coordination center between the Russian military and the SDF.
SAA units entered northern Raqqa and other parts of northeast Syria last year as a result of a breakthrough agreement between the SDF and the Damascus government. The deployment helped put an end to a large-scale Turkish-led attack on the region.
The fresh SAA reinforcements were likely deployed in response to the increasing tension around Ayn Issa. The town’s northern outskirt is witnessing clashes on a regular basis.

Zionist pedo soon to be stabbed in the neck by the 6 yo he is molesting.
nazis also grouped all jews together as child molesters and pedohpiles, so you’re just another antisemite who longs for the third reich days
As Idlib reignites, this Raqqa plan will play out surprisingly well.
Another distraction to draw attention away from Idlib? Possibly….
Wondering why this area is not red on the map. Russia does need to motivate the Kurdish to join the SAA and help defend Syria, or pull back from the front. Not doing so, just invites the Turks to invade to “fight the terrorists”.
