> ***US forces have been in Syria since 2015 (LIE) to advise and assist the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces in the fight against the militant Islamic State (IS) group.(LIE)***

**The US and their KurdIShIS partners are occupying Syria, ethnically cleansing entire regions and stealing Syrian resources- that’s the reality. The Skynew reporting is utter rubbish**

[What exactly happened with the helicopter is very unclear.](https://news.sky.com/story/helicopter-mishap-leaves-22-us-service-personnel-injured-in-syria-12901514)

> A **helicopter “mishap”** in northeastern Syria left **22 American service personnel injured over the weekend,** the US military has said.
> 
> A spokesman said no enemy fire was involved and the **cause of the accident is being investigated.**
> 
> He added the **service members are receiving treatment *(where?)* and 10 have been moved to “higher care facilities” outside the region.** ***(where?)***
> 
> There are **at least 900 US forces personnel in Syria** on average, along with **an undisclosed number of contractors.**
> 
> **US special operations forces also move in and out of the country** but are usually in small teams and are **not included in the official count.**

**So, it’s unknown how many US forces personnel are actually in Syria- though the minimum of 900 is acknowledged- the real or maximum amount is unmentioned**
