🚨#BREAKING | ATTENTION
Damascus is reinforcing its military presence along the Iraqi border, possibly as a precaution against potential reactions from Iraqi armed factions if the Syrian Army enters Lebanon and confronts Hezbollah.

YPJ Spokesperson Ruken Cemal:

▪️ As part of the January 29, 2026 agreement, the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) continue discussions with Damascus.

▪️ In April, we held a meeting with Defense Minister Murhaf Abu Qasra and submitted a written proposal outlining our views and suggestions.

▪️ So far, no official proposal or decision has been presented to us by Damascus authorities.

▪️ There are views that YPJ should maintain an independent counter-terrorism force within the Ministry of Interior, but no clear decision has been reached yet.

▪️ Further meetings with Damascus officials will take place in the coming days to discuss this issue.

🚨#ATTENTION
100,000 people have crossed the Tal Abyad border crossing with Turkey since the start of the year.

14,000 were Syrians returning home voluntarily. Who are the other 86,000?

Has Turkey resumed allowing foreign extremists into Syria, as it did during ISIS’s rise?

The meeting between Ahmed al-Sharaa and Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani with General Mazloum Abdi and the Autonomous Administration’s Foreign Relations Co-Chair Ilham Ahmed has concluded.

🚨#DEVELOPMENTS
The Syrian Armed Forces have entered a state of heightened military alert following orders to raise combat readiness across all military formations, while reinforcements and military units have been deployed from eastern regions toward the Syrian-Iraqi border.

🚨#BREAKING
The heightened military readiness coincided with reinforcements for the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) on the Iraqi side of the border, prompting Syrian forces to strengthen their positions and raise the alert level along the Syrian-Iraqi border.

EX-ISIS INTELLIGENCE FIGURE TARGETS KURDS

Ibrahim Hassan Habijan also known as Ibrahim Ammash (Abu Khalil al-Qaryatayn) is a former ISIS member who joined the group in 2013 became an emir & served in its intelligence. Today he targets & intimidates Kurdish civilians in Al-Tabqa.

🚨 #BREAKING

Military mobilization in Aleppo, Hama, and Afrin by Turkey-backed Al-Amshat of the 62nd Division, following reports that commander Abu Amsha has been dismissed and may be arrested amid tensions with Syria’s Ministry of Defense.

🚨#BREAKING
General Security forces have surrounded Abu Amsha’s 62nd Division bases in Hama countryside.

The 62nd Division has declared full mobilization, deploying snipers, mortars, and heavy vehicles across its bases.

Afrin: Around 600 mercenaries from the Turkish-backed Al-Amshat faction withdrew from their military positions in Shiye district, Afrin, after pulling out of the villages of Onqla, Sanara, Marwaniya al-Fawqani, and Marwaniya al-Tahtani. They were redeployed near the Iraqi border in Deir ez-Zor.

In regard to yesterdays events in Syria - Abu Amsha (Awad al Jassem) has become the deputy commander of Syrias Central Corps, in charge of Homs, Hama and its desert regions.

Before that, Amsha was the commander of the Northern Corps in charge of Afrin, Aleppo and Manbij (+Later the Kurdish SDF areas).
This is a clear degradation of rank.

The mobilisation of the Syrian Military to the highest level of alert can be explained by this development - even though an official explanation does not exist - Amsha has been degraded and he could’ve possibly mobilised his forces to force Damascus to revert this change.

The Syrian Government however is thereby also showing that the Syrian Military is not unified nor adheres to the military system of the Syrian state - Jolani having to mobilise all forces across Syria proves that the STG is aware of this fact and also aware that former SNA factions continue to operate outside of the STG; otherwise he wouldn’t have feared that Amsha may mobilise his forces, which are part of the STG.

The SDF - which is now part of the STG and will announce its dissolution soon enough - will become the core of the northern corps.
