Italian special forces and strategic
assets of the defense ministry are on alert for a possible
exfiltration operation of the Italian personnel remaining in
Syria, sources at the Ministry of Defense, told ANSA Sunday.
Any line of action will be adopted for the security and safety
of Italian diplomatic staff and their possible exfiltration,
should the situation degenerate further, Defence Minister Guido
Crosetto told ANSA.
"We have given our availability for any type of eventuality and
for now, like all other nations, not only European and
international, we are evaluating every possible line of action
to guarantee the safety of Italian personnel and their possible
exfiltration, should the situation degenerate further and become
extremely dangerous and chaotic", Crosetto told ANSA, who
together with the Chief of Defense Staff and the joint
operational commander, in coordination with the Farnesina and
Palazzo Chigi is constantly monitoring the situation in Syria.
