Iranian-backed militias have moved into Syria from Iraq overnight, reinforcing the Syrian army's frontlines in the north.

Overnight, Iranian-backed militias moved into Syria from Iraq to strengthen Syrian army forces fighting insurgents on the northern frontlines, according to sources within the Syrian army.

A senior Syrian army source confirmed that dozens of fighters from Iraqi Hashd al Shaabi crossed into Syria through a military route near the Al Bukamal crossing.

The reinforcements, comprising Iraq's Katiab Hezbollah and Fatemiyoun groups, aim to bolster their allies directly fighting on the northern frontlines.
