Syrian military raises alert level amid movements near Iraqi border
It also remained unclear whether the military movements had affected border crossings or civilian and commercial traffic between the two countries.
The Syrian military has raised its alert level, increased readiness, and recalled personnel from leave, amid reports of additional forces deploying near the Iraqi border. Syrian media reported the Defense Ministry ordered "Alert Level C" and immediate return to units. Two anonymous Syrian military personnel confirmed their leave was canceled and they were ordered back to duty, though they received no explanation for the heightened readiness. The reasons for these measures, their duration, and whether they are widespread or localized remain unclear, with no official statement from the Syrian Defense Ministry. It is unknown if the alert is a precautionary measure or preparation for a larger operation.
