Engineering student Hassan Abdel Muti Al-Kilani was killed by Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) militia bullets in Al-Hasakah city on January 25, 2026, amid a security escalation in the Gweran neighborhood, local sources reported in an X post by HasakahMC over the past hour. The militia set up a checkpoint near Soldier Roundabout and arrested young men returning to the area. The incident heightened tension and fear among residents, according to the HasakahMC post citing local sources. Separately, a mine planted by SDF militia exploded on a humanitarian convoy near Qara Qawzak in Ain Arab, as reported by طيف للأخبار on Telegram during this period. The Media and Communications Department at Syria's Ministry of Defence stated that the Syrian Arab Army is preparing, in coordination with Al-Hasakah and Aleppo governorates, to open two humanitarian corridors, which will be announced upon completion of preparations, according to Damas Post. In western Syria, monitoring account QalaatAlMudiq reported on X that 22,000 tons of grain arrived at Tartus port and are being transported to silos in Homs and Damascus provinces, while 1,500 tons will be shipped by train from Latakia to Aleppo via Hama railway for the first time in 15 years. Jordanian Border Guards thwarted two attempts last night to smuggle Captagon from southern Syria using balloons, downing three and seizing around 250,000 pills, as announced by the Jordan Armed Forces and noted by QalaatAlMudiq.
