🇸🇾❌🇸🇾 — General Situation in Syria as of midnight (20/1/26 - 21/1/26)

➡️ To the north of Raqqa city: sometime a couple days ago, the Syrian state was able to impose full control over the Division 17 base north of Raqqa, but SDF managed to hole up in the Al-Aqtan prison, where they remain besieged.

➡️ On the Kobani axis: fighting between SAA and SDF continues , with Syrian troops securing Sarrin and crossing the Qere Qazak bridge from the west. Clashes were reported in Quba, Moreli, and Khan Mamid villages along the southern part of the frontline.

➡️ On the Hasakah axis: A tribal revolt happened that threw out the SDF in the villages of Tel Hamis, Tell Brak, and Yarubiyah. This means there is only one border crossing between Iraq and SDF territories at Faysh Khabur. Meanwhile, SAA troops advanced up into Al-Hol and secured the city, before advancing up to Tel Hamis and al-Ya'rubiyah. They then advanced further up and took the village of al-Alkana from the SDF. SAA units also deployed to the eastern edge of Hasakah city, but still haven't made a move to enter the city as part of an agreed-upon ceasefire lasting 4 days. Meanwhile, Kurdish protestors tried to cross the Turkish border into Syria at the cities of Nusaybin and Qamishli.
