Syria has agreed to deploy its soldiers in Saudi Arabia and Yemen to support the fight against the Yemeni Houthis. According to available data, approximately 3,000 Syrian soldiers are set to head to the Saudi-Yemeni border. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The soldiers are to support Saudi Arabian units in operations against Houthi rebels. According to unnamed representatives of Yemeni government offices and the military, hundreds of Syrian soldiers are already present on both sides of the border. The deployment of additional units would represent a more significant involvement of Syria in the conflict in Yemen. forum24.cz ↗
The information about the planned deployment of soldiers comes at a time when the region is discussing strengthening support for Saudi Arabia in the fight against the Houthis. Egypt has committed to providing assistance to Riyadh, but has at the same time refused to intervene directly in Yemen. teraz.sk ↗
The Houthis, who have the support of Iran, have long been active in Yemen and control extensive parts of the country. The conflict between the rebels and Yemeni government forces repeatedly spills over into the security situation on the border with Saudi Arabia.
It is not clear when the entire contingent of Syrian soldiers will be deployed or what specific tasks it will carry out. Further developments will depend on the extent of cooperation between Syria, Saudi Arabia and the Yemeni government forces.
