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.

Clashes between Arab tribes and US-backed forces escalate in Syria

Arab tribesmen briefly took control of two villages in northwest Syria in solidarity with tribesmen fighting the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the northeast. The tribesmen later withdrew after heavy shelling and Russian air attacks. Tensions between the tribesmen and the SDF escalated into violence after the arrest of a local Arab armed group leader affiliated with the SDF. The fighting has resulted in dozens of deaths. The US has called for an end to the violence and urged all parties to de-escalate and resolve the situation peacefully.
