The Syrian army broke a siege by SDF snipers on Tal Ahmar village in the Ain al-Arab countryside and began entering it between 2:46 PM and 3:15 PM UTC on January 25, 2026, after villagers expelled SDF/YPG fighters two days earlier, according to syrianFactCheck on X. Clashes are ongoing between the Syrian army and SDF/YPG terrorists in Tel Abir, with Tel Ahmar and Zarkawtak villages now under Syrian army control, while SDF/YPG fighters stationed in Sheikhs fired at Qubba and Tel Ahmar, as reported by BarracudaVol1 on X during the 29-minute reporting window. These developments occur amid prior SDF/YPG mortar fire from Ain al-Arab targeting Jamal village in Jarablus countryside earlier on January 25, according to previous reports citing BarracudaVol1, following Syrian Arab Army announcements of humanitarian corridors at Ain al-Arab Junction for aid to SDF areas, as stated by Sana__gov.
