On January 17, the US military column consisting of dozens of tanker trucks has reportedly smuggled crude oil from Syria’s northeastern province of al-Hasakah.
According to SANA’s sources in al-Ya’rubiyah town, a convoy of 128 US military trucks, including tankers and trucks carrying battle tanks and heavy ammunition, left Syria heading towards Iraq through al-Waleed border crossing.
On the Syrian territory, the convoy was reportedly escorted by eight armored vehicles of to the US military.
These claims were not supported by any photographs or videos. Unlike, on January 10, when a footage taken by a military aircraft proved that another kilometers-long US convoy was moving along the M4 highway towards the illegal border crossing of Al-Waleed with Iraq.
