Journalist Hawar Hebo reported that the agreement to lift the siege on the security squares in Qamishli and Hassakeh was reached following a meeting between a Russian delegation and leaders of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) inside the security square in Hassakeh.
Additionally, the commander of the Russian forces in Syria held talks concerning the recent events in Deir-ez-Zor, as well as the siege of the security squares in Hassakeh and Qamishli. This came after tribal forces, operating from areas controlled by the Syrian regime east of Deir-ez-Zor, attacked sites belonging to the SDF.
