The Ministry of Defense confirmed on Tuesday that security forces are continuing to monitor desert areas and that there is no trace of foreign forces there. The Director of Media and Moral Guidance at the Ministry of Defense, Major General Tahsin al-Khafaji, told the official agency that “there is nothing to indicate that there is a military base or a military area or anything that indicates the possibility of the presence of elements of hostile military forces,” explaining that “the information was received during the month of March about the presence of foreign forces and it did not last more than 48 hours.”
He added that “the security forces were informed by a source on March 3, and on March 4 they moved towards this location.”
He also pointed out that “the security forces, along with the special forces and other security agencies, went to the location on March 5, and did not notice any trace indicating the presence of a camp or security forces at the location.”
He stressed that “this indicates that the presence of the force in the place was for a limited number of hours and ended with the presence of the security forces,” explaining that “the place did not contain any traces or evidence indicating the presence of hostile military forces.”
