New Turkish military reinforcements have arrived in
the southern province of Sanliurfa.
The reinforcements included artillery and tankers
and trucks laden with weapons and ammunition, Al Arabiya news channel reported
on Wednesday.
The Turkish army, and other Syrian opposition forces
supported by Ankara, are continuing preparations to enter Manbij, despite an
announcement by the Syrian Democratic Forces to hand over the city to Syrian
regime forces.
Earlier this week, US President Donald Trump has
“ordered a slowdown” of the previously announced withdrawal of roughly 2,000 US
troops from Syria.
