Syrian army enters northeasternmost point of the country

The Syrian army entered the most northeastern point in Syria on Thursday, November 14 after the U.S. Armed Forces withdrew from this part of the country, Al-Masdar News reports.

According to reports on Thursday, the Syrian army entered the town of ‘Ayn Dewar in northeastern Al-Hasakah as they continue to fulfil their agreement with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

‘Ayn Dewar is a town located just north of Al-Malkiyah, which is where the Iraqi border crossing with northeastern Al-Hasakah is located.

The town of ‘Ayn Dewar is considered the last point in northeastern Syria that is linked with the Turkish border.

As a result of the move, the Syrian army is now in control of every border point in Al-Hasakah that is located east of Ras Al-‘Ayn.

The Syrian army would have been in full control of the Al-Hasakah border if it were not for the Turkish-backed militants that are currently inside the city of Ras Al-‘Ayn.
