Syrian Official Says Forces to Move to Qamishli to Follow deal with SDF
The statement was made by the internal security commander for Al-Hasakah province, Marwan al-Ali, just hours after security units began entering urban areas. He explained that deployments had already started in Hasakah and would soon extend to Qamishli. “A number of vehicles and Interior Ministry personnel entered Hasakah today, to be followed by the entry of similar vehicles and forces into Qamishli,” he said, without giving a specific schedule.
Al-Ali confirmed that forces currently operating under the SDF framework would be absorbed into state institutions once the agreement is carried out. He stated that “Asayish forces and other security forces affiliated with the SDF will be integrated into the Interior Ministry’s structure after the implementation of the agreement’s provisions.”
He also addressed media access restrictions, saying authorities had opted to limit press presence due to security concerns. “We decided not to allow journalists to enter the city of Hasakah due to the ambiguous situation, to avoid provocations and to ensure their safety,” he said.
According to al-Ali, existing security units will not be withdrawn as new ones arrive. He confirmed that “the security forces currently present in Hasakah will remain in their positions and similar forces will enter Qamishli.”
Earlier in the day, reports indicated that internal security forces had entered Al-Hasakah and were received positively by local residents. A field correspondent said the convoy included eight armored personnel carriers, four four-wheel-drive vehicles, ambulances, and mobile communications units, and that it proceeded toward the city center.
In addition to Hasakah and Qamishli, Syrian internal security forces were also deployed to the village of Shuyukh, south of the Ayn al-Arab district, under the same arrangement.
These developments are part of the rollout of what authorities have described as a “comprehensive agreement” announced on Friday between the government and the SDF, intended to bring an end to territorial fragmentation and open the way for a new phase of nationwide integration.
