Border Forces Command confirmed on Sunday that security along the Syrian border is fully secured, with four key barriers.

Brigadier General Khairallah Issa, Commander of the Second Border Region, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that the border is safeguarded by trenches, earthen embankments, barbed-wire fences, and a 3.5-meter-high concrete wall.

He emphasized that the situation is stable and that the crossing remains closed.

Issa also highlighted that the securing force includes four brigades, six reserve battalions, and a mechanized infantry battalion.
The Popular Mobilization Forces are deployed deeper within the border zone.

He stated that with 105 cameras monitoring the area, no breach is expected, and additional reinforcements are unnecessary as current forces and equipment are sufficient.
