Syrian Army Deploys in More Kurdish Villages in Northeastern Aleppo

Local sources reported on Thursday that the Syrian Army has deployed troops in several villages previously controlled by the Kurdish forces of the Manbij Military Council following the recent Russian-brokered agreement with Damascus.


The sources said that the army units have entered the villages of Jubb al-hamra and al-Wahihij to maintain security to the regions in Manbij that are held by the Kurdish forces against a possible attack by the Turkey-led Euphrates Shield Operation militants.

Jubb al-hamra and al-Wahihij were previously under the control of the Manbij Military Council forces.

The sources pointed out that the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) left Jubb al-hamra and al-Wahihij and other villages in Manbij region after the Syrian soldiers deployed and took charge.

The Kurdish forces are expected to hand over more villages to the Syrian army West of Manbij in the next few days.
