Baladi News reported the strategic deployment of advanced radar systems, a move triggered by Iranian-backed militias' recent attacks on oil fields.
On Saturday, October 14, the U.S. forces introduced four state-of-the-art radar systems to their base in the Al-Shadadi area in Al-Hasakah Governorate. The sophisticated equipment was transported from Iraq through the Al-Waleed border gate, as cited by local sources and reported by Anadolu Agency.

Enhanced security measures
The following day, U.S. forces established radar systems at the Omar oil fields and Konko Gas in Deir ez-Zor. In an apparent move to fortify these critical infrastructures, a radar-linked missile system, the specifics of which remain undisclosed, was also deployed to both sites.
These measures directly counter the looming threat of attacks by Iranian-backed terrorist groups operating west of the Euphrates River. It underscores the developing security challenges in the region and the proactive steps undertaken by the U.S. military to mitigate potential threats.

A history of reinforcements
This is not the first instance of Washington bolstering its military presence in the strife-torn Syrian regions.
On July 17, the U.S. reinforced its forces with four Hemars missile launchers, 15 artillery batteries, five armored vehicles, five tanks, and 45 vehicles laden with ammunition. These reached their base in Shadadi, fortifying the nearly 900 soldiers already deployed across military bases in areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces in Hasakah, Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, and the Al-Tanf base.
The U.S. maintains that these military enhancements are integral to the ongoing war against ISIS and are preventive measures to thwart the terror group's resurgence.
