The deployment of Syrian terrorists to Yemen. 🇸🇾🇸🇦🇾🇪 In recent weeks, reports have emerged about the deployment of Syrian troops to Yemen in support of Saudi Arabia to fight against forces in Sanaa. Previously, the presence of Syrian mercenaries in Yemen has been very limited, consisting mainly of TFSA/SNA members used by Turkey for its interventionist foreign policy—as it did in Libya and Azerbaijan (where the numbers were considerably higher)—as well as Syrian and non-Syrian terrorists affiliated with other groups, some of whom eventually joined AQAP and IS-YP. In this case, the situation is quite different. Following the terrorists’ rise to power in December 2024, it would be the new STG authorities who would approve the deployment of troops that officially form part of the armed forces, which would imply formal participation in Yemen. It also reduces the likelihood of a Syrian intervention in Lebanon at a time when Damascus is struggling to financially sustain its armed forces.
