Syrian Opposition Secures Deir Az Zor Amid Regional Tensions
TL;DR Summary
Fighters in Syria, claiming to have overthrown former President Bashar al-Assad, announced they have taken full control of Deir Az Zor city and its military airport, following clashes with Kurdish-led forces. This marks another victory for the opposition coalition, which has also seized Damascus. The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces briefly held the city after pro-government forces fled, but still control parts of the governorate. A ceasefire mediated by the U.S. between the SDF and the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army was confirmed, with the SDF agreeing to withdraw from certain areas.
