The Syrian army captured a T-55 tank and a Shilka anti-aircraft gun abandoned by SDF forces in Ayn al-Arab, according to new images published by Cadusuhan_2 on X over the past hour ending at 5:15 PM UTC on January 25, 2026. Supported by tribal forces, the army continued advances south of Al-Shuyoukh district during the same 59-minute period from 4:16 PM UTC, as stated by syrianFactCheck on X. These captures follow the army's prior liberations of Tal Ahmar, Zervektouk, and Al Jasmiya villages en route to Shuyoukh earlier on January 25, with tribal fighters reaching 6 km from Shuyoukh after neutralizing SDF fortifications at Al-Qanaya and Al-Boraz, according to previous reports citing DeirEzzore and syrianFactCheck on X. Separately, 11 trucks of humanitarian aid were sent from Turkey to Ayn al-Arab with support from the Red Crescent and AFAD, as reported by trthabercanli on X during the reporting window with details on TRT News. In DeirEzzor province, Internal Security announced a review center opening tomorrow to regularize former local SDF members, receive their weapons and equipment, and hold non-compliant members legally accountable, according to QalaatAlMudiq on X quoting a Syria correspondent. This follows a recruitment campaign attracting crowds in former SDF areas, as previously reported by QalaatAlMudiq.
