Syrian Arab Army units entered the town of Khirbet al-Tamer in the western countryside of Al-Hasakah, 50 km from Al-Hasakah city, between 8:46 AM and 9:15 AM UTC on January 19, 2026, according to video footage shared by omar_alharir on X. Photos showed internal security forces deployed at the political security roundabout in Raqqa city during this 29-minute period, as posted by SANAEnOfficial on X. These deployments follow Syrian army entries into Shaddadi and ongoing security operations in Raqqa reported earlier this morning. The developments come amid a ceasefire agreement and Syrian Democratic Forces integration into state administration welcomed by Kuwait earlier today, with locals celebrating army takeovers in Raqqa, Tabqa, and Deir Hafer, per previous reports citing multiple X sources.
