Overview
- Government forces, backed by allied tribal militias, seized Tabqa and advanced into Raqqa as officials claimed Raqqa and Deir Ezzor were captured, though full control has not been independently verified.
- The presidency announced a ceasefire across all fronts with provisions to dissolve the SDF structure, integrate its personnel into state security, and pull affiliated forces east of the Euphrates.
- The agreement envisions Damascus assuming control of border crossings, major oil and gas fields, and two Euphrates dams, and taking over administration and security of the al-Hol and al-Roj camps.
- A document tied to the pact says Syria will continue counter-ISIS operations in coordination with the United States, even as CENTCOM urged Damascus to halt offensive actions between Aleppo and al-Tabqa.
- The government accused SDF units of executing prisoners in Tabqa before withdrawing; the SDF denied the allegation and said detainees were moved, with claims still under dispute.
