The U.S. official announcement comes as air strikes and clashes are testing a fragile ceasefire in Syria. The Pentagon had deployed dozens of US Special Operations Forces to Syria’s border. It is a very fragile plot of the border, where Turkey fights ISIS. CNN informs that up to 40 US Special Operations Forces are accompanying Turkish troops as they clear ISIS from northern Syria. This new mission, dubbed “Operation Noble Lance,” was authorized this week and is now underway, the US officials added.
