In confirmation of the Pentagon announcement Friday saying American troops and mechanized units would deploy to "secure" the oil-producing area of Syria, despite Trump's much touted and debated "withdrawal," multiple local videos have appeared online early Saturday showing large American convoys headed back to the region they only days ago departed.

Though Defense Secretary Mark Esper in statements Friday did not divulge details in terms of numbers, it's expected that at least several hundred troops will deploy to the major oil fields east of the Euphrates river, especially the Kurdish SDF-held al-Omar field, the country's largest.

It's also been confirmed through local correspondents and footage that new convoys apparently re-entered Syria from Iraqi Kurdistan (KRG areas) beginning on Friday and into Saturday, and were accompanied by multiple Apache attack helicopters and possibly drones.

Among the photographs published in Kurdish media of the new convoy are images of the armored column passing near oil fields in eastern Syria.

One US military convoy reportedly entered Syria through the KRG’s Semelka border crossing.
