Syrian army takes control of Deir Hafer, Maskana under agreement

The recent developments in eastern Aleppo highlight the shifting alliances and territorial control in the Syrian conflict. The withdrawal of the SDF suggests a strategic recalibration, possibly in response to pressure from government forces or broader geopolitical considerations. This move may also indicate a growing consolidation of power by the Syrian government, which could further complicate the already fragmented landscape of the conflict.
