First step for lifting siege | Trucks carrying water and food supplies enter besieged areas in Al-Hasakah

Al-Hasakah province: SOHR sources have reported that trucks carrying water and food supplies entered the security zone in Al-Hasakah city.

 

Meanwhile, urgent food supplies will enter the security zone in Al-Qamishly within a few hours, amid anticipation for the implementation of the remaining terms of the agreement reached with Russian forces.

 

Earlier today, SOHR sources reported that SDF began lifting the siege on the security zones in Al-Hasakah and Al-Qamishly cities following promises by a Russian delegation to stop the attacks by local groups loyal to Iran and to keep the 4th Division away from Deir Ezzor countryside, replacing it with groups of the Republican Guard Forces.

 

This followed a meeting held in Al-Qamishly airport in Al-Hasakah countryside between a Russian delegation that included several officers and soldiers led by the Russian commander “Kislev” and representatives of SDF.

 

The agreement also included a prisoner-swap deal, according to which members of SDF, who had been detained by the Iranian-backed Ibrahim Al-Hafel groups, would be released in return for the release of 20 regime officers and soldiers, including a brigadier general, who were arrested in Al-Hasakah and Al-Qamishly.

 

Meanwhile, SDF agreed to lift the siege for fulfilling the agreed-upon conditions.
