Damascus, Syria – The Syrian Army Operations Command announced today that it has established full military control over the city of Deir Hafer in the eastern Aleppo countryside. This comes after the withdrawal of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) from the area.
Military sources confirmed that army units immediately began extensive clearing operations and securing residential neighborhoods upon entering the city. They focused on dismantling mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) left behind by the withdrawing forces. This is aimed at ensuring the safe return of civilians.
The Syrian Ministry of Defense had previously indicated the suspension of airstrikes and artillery shelling against SDF positions in the area. This came after the SDF decided to withdraw from the western bank of the Euphrates River in Aleppo province.
