Opposition forces in Syria recently handed over American citizen Travis Timmerman to US forces, who subsequently flew him to Jordan, according to two US officials on Friday. The transfer involved US military personnel from Operation Inherent Resolve, the US military's campaign against ISIS, as confirmed by a third official.
The handover occurred at Al-Tanf, a US garrison in Syria known for anti-ISIS operations. Travis Timmerman, who was detained in a Syrian prison near Damascus, was released on December 9 after the fall of the Assad regime. The second official mentioned that CENTCOM is collaborating with the Department of State to ensure Timmerman's safe return.
