Syria the last 24 hours.

In SDF-held territory, pockets that held SAA-forces were cleared and taken under full control. It is unclear if SAA units were granted safe passage towards SAA-held territory, if they defected or taken captive.

SAA units have withdrawn from the city of As-Sanamayn, north of Daraa. It seems like all remaining SAA-forces willing to fight have completely pulled back to Damascus and its surroundings.

Rebel factions have taken control of the SAA Al-Batal Palace sites on the international road between Amman and Damascus, near the town of Saida in eastern Daraa. They captured abandoned SAA equipment.

Good night, sleep well. See you tomorrow!
