The United States is preparing to pull back the nearly 1,000 troops from its military that remain in Syria, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing three US officials.
Al Jazeera was not immediately able to independently verify the report on Wednesday.
Last week, the US military confirmed it was withdrawing from the al-Tanf base, located in southern Syria near borders with Iraq and Jordan.
The base served as a key hub for operations for the global coalition against ISIL (ISIS), which at the time controlled large areas of Syria and Iraq until sustaining critical losses in 2017.
