ISIS released a propaganda video titled “Al-Barakah” from its so-called Sham Province, reportedly filmed in Hasake Governorate. The video opens with a reference to Baghouz, the group’s last territorial stronghold, and emphasizes “patience” while signaling a new phase focused on freeing detained members and continuing armed operations.

The footage includes scenes of women and children linked to ISIS families, as well as individuals presented as escaped prisoners and displaced civilians, likely filmed south of Hasake. Analysts say the video aims to revive a victimhood narrative, exploit current political and security tensions, and reposition ISIS media messaging after years of decline.

Mazloum Abdi:
Military forces will not enter any Kurdish city or village.
A security force will enter the security squares in Hasakah and Qamishlo to activate civilian institutions, and then withdraw from the cities.
The most important point of the agreement is the ceasefire.
Asayish forces will protect the security and stability of the region.
On the 27th of the month, a meeting was held with Jolani, and an agreement was signed. The key point reached was the ceasefire.
There were major plans aimed at exterminating the peoples of North and East Syria, and these plans were foiled thanks to the resistance of our forces and the unity of the people with them.
Our people should feel fully reassured and not fear these agreements. Only the Asayish forces will remain to protect all Kurdish cities.
A limited number of personnel from the “Internal Security Forces affiliated with Damascus” will enter Hasakah and Qamishlo. Their mission will be limited to coordination and integration, after which they will withdraw.

🛑The most important issue of this agreement was the ceasefire
🛑This force will not have any mission in the city, let our people be at ease
🛑A fundamental part of the agreement is the specificity of the Kurdish regions
🛑The institutions our people gained in the revolution will not be changed
🛑SDF forces will remain in Cizre and Kobanê in the form of brigades
🛑The agreement will come into effect on February 2 and the siege on Kobanê will be lifted
🛑The agreement will enter into practical application on the second of next February, according to which our forces and government forces will withdraw from the clash lines in Kobani and Hasakah.
🛑Our SDF forces will remain in the form of brigades in Hasakah and Kobani.
🛑The agreement reached on the Kurdish issue is also valid for Afrin and Serêkaniyê.
