US Central Command confirms completion of handover of its military bases in Syria
ARK News.. The spokesperson for the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), Tim Hawkins, confirmed that American forces have completed the handover of all their main military bases in Syria to the government.
Hawkins stated on Friday that these steps come as part of a carefully managed and conditional transition process carried out by the Joint Task Force under Operation Inherent Resolve.
He added that US forces will continue to support counter terrorism efforts led by partner nations, stressing that these efforts are essential to ensuring the lasting defeat of ISIS and strengthening regional security.
