Media outlets close to the militant groups in northwestern Syria revealed that armed factions affiliated with the Turkish-backed "Syrian National Army", in the countryside of Idlib and Aleppo, began registering the names of some of its members to transfer them to the Al-Tanf area on the Syrian-Jordanian border.

The media indicated that it had obtained the information from "identical sources", pointing out that the armed factions' step aims to deploy militants in the Al-Tanf area as "border guards", in a mission similar to the one they carried out in Libya.

It also revealed that the leaders of several militant groups instructed their members, through private groups, to start registration for "those who wish to go on military missions" to the Al-Tanf area in return for a sum of money up to $1,000.

The media mentioned that the registration process takes place via the leaders of the militant groups, noting that registration "is open to all factions, components, and even civilians."

It cited sources that the matter is being coordinated between the leadership of the "Syrian Free Army" and the components of the "Syrian National Army."

This comes as the US-led International Coalition forces have intensified military training and maneuvers during the past few days, some of which were using live ammunition, within the 55 km area, at the Syrian-Iraqi-Jordanian border triangle.

It is noteworthy that as part of a plan to establish a new security belt in Syria, US occupation forces in the Al-Tanf area sought to establish cooperation between militants of the Turkish-backed "Syrian National Army" and the militants of the "Syrian Free Army" that it supports.
