Over the past hour ending at 1:45 a.m. UTC on Jan. 11, 2026, YPG militia barricaded in Yaseen Hospital—the last holdout in Aleppo—reached a deal with Syrian army forces to evacuate by bus toward Deir Hafer, according to footage and a report from inside the hospital posted on X by @Al7khalidi. This completes the withdrawal of Syrian Democratic Forces from Sheikh Maqsud, Ashrafieh, Bani Zaid, Al-Shaqif housing, youth housing, and Al-Larimun factories neighborhoods, following the Syrian Arab Army's announcement of complete control at 11:45 p.m. UTC on Jan. 10, as stated in an official post on X by @ivarmm. SDF commander Mazloum Abdi confirmed the mediated ceasefire and evacuation of fighters, wounded, martyrs, and civilians to northern and eastern Syria in a statement on X. A government source told Syria TV that about 400 SDF members, including wounded, were evacuated from the areas. Abdi urged mediators to ensure safe return of displaced residents. Separately, over the past hour, the U.S.-led International Coalition confirmed airstrikes targeting an ISIS site used as a refuge near Tulul al-Safa in the Syrian desert, 80 km from Suwayda, as part of operations against sleeper cells, according to Suwayda24 citing @CoalitionAR.
