Unidentified persons, likely tribal forces, attacked a Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) military point near the Euphrates River in the Hawija region east of Deir ez-Zor, prompting SDF forces to go on alert in the town of Dhiban as a military convoy of about 10 cars entered the area over the past hour ending at 8:45 PM UTC on Jan. 11, according to Nahr Media's correspondent. Nahr Media reported the incident during the 7:45-8:45 PM UTC window, highlighting the SDF's heightened alert status in Dhiban following the attack on the nearby military site. Separately, Google updated its satellite imagery for regions in Syria, showing transformations from 2022/2023 to late 2025 in a school in Daraya, Damascus province, and a central street in Saraqeb, Idlib province, per an X post by QalaatAlMudiq in the same period. QalaatAlMudiq quoted reports of Saraqeb evolving from a ghost town seized by rebels to featuring overcrowded classrooms in a rehabilitated school attended by returnee children born in displacement camps.
