What's behind this

Saudi Arabia is seeking Syrian assistance as its conflict with Houthis escalates. A Syrian official said an initial force of about 600 special‑forces fighters is expected to be deployed to Saudi Arabia in the coming week. Syria is preparing to send fighters to deploy along Saudi Arabia’s border and potentially help it fight Iranian‑backed rebels in neighbouring Yemen, according to three officials. Syrian military advisers have already been deployed to Saudi Arabia.
