Meanwhile, the army’s Operations Command noted that the agreement includes withdrawing forces from civilian areas to designated military points, reopening main roads, cooperating on mine clearance and the removal of earth barriers, and accelerating steps toward integration.
On January 30, the Syrian government and the SDF agreed to halt gunfire under a comprehensive deal that sets out a phased integration of military and administrative structures between the two sides. The agreement provides for the retreat of forces from contact lines, the deployment of Interior Ministry security units to the centers of Hasakah and Qamishli to enhance stability, and the gradual integration of local security forces.
