The U.S. on Monday sent an additional 100 trucks of military equipment to members of the PYD, the Syrian affiliate of the terrorist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) organization, which crossed the border from Iraq to the northeastern Syrian province of Hasaka, according to local sources.
The American arms convoy, which were sent to PKK terrorists in northern Raqqa, included weapons, high-capacity armored Hummer trucks, used by the U.S. military, in addition to 4x4 Jeeps and excavators.
In recent months, the U.S. has stepped up its support for PKK terrorists in Syria by sending hundreds of weapon trucks across the border from Iraq.
Turkey has repeatedly objected to U.S. arms being sent to the PYD, due to its links to the terrorist organization the PKK.
U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), mostly comprised of PYD terrorists, launched an operation on June 4, to recapture Daesh-held Raqqa.
The PKK is listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the European Union and the United States.
The PKK has been conducting armed violence in the southeastern part of Turkey since 1984. More than 40,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in the three-decade long conflict.
