“We received with deep concern the news that 150 US troops have entered the Syrian territory into Rmeilan area,” an official source at the Syrian MFA told  SANA state information agency.

“This intervention is rejected and illegitimate, and it happened without the Syrian government’s approval,” the source said, stressing that this move violates the international laws and conventions, being a “direct attack” on the Syrian territory.

“While stressing its total rejection of this act of aggression, Syria calls on the international community to take all necessary measures to stop it,” the source noted.
