The United States deployed dozens of ground troops to Syria under the pretext that they will assist Kurdish forces in their battle against "ISIS" terrorists.

The so-called "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights" said on Thursday that 30 US soldiers arrived in the northern city of Kobani over the past two days.
The troops will allegedly help plan attacks against the Takfiris in the two Syrian cities of Jarablus and Raqqah.

Kurdish sources also announced that some 20 US soldiers arrived in Hasakeh province in eastern Syria.

On October 30, senior Obama administration officials said that Washington would send some 50 special forces to Syria to "train, advise and assist" militants fighting against "ISIS", in an apparent breach of Obama's promise not to put US "boots on the ground" there.

A top official told the BBC that this does not indicate a change in US strategy, but an "intensification" of the military campaign.

The presence of US troops on the ground in Syria lacks any mandate from the Syrian government. Damascus says it is a violation of its sovereignty.

US officials told The Associated Press that Russia has directed parts of its military campaign against US-backed militants and other extremist groups in an effort to weaken them.

They say the CIA-trained militants are under Russian strikes with little prospect of rescue by their American supporters.
