What is today called Syria was, at that time, part of the Ottoman Governate of Damascus. In addition to the Ottoman troops raised from Syria, the territory was invaded by British Forces at the end of 1918 in the Middle Eastern Theatre of World War 1, in what is specifically termed the Syrian Campaign.
