Overview
- Syrian military sources and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported a full U.S. withdrawal from al-Tanf and entry of Syrian government troops.
- Syria’s Defense Ministry said the handover was coordinated and that units have begun positioning along the Syria–Iraq–Jordan frontier.
- SOHR said most remaining U.S. personnel are now concentrated at the Kasrak base in Hasakeh after roughly two weeks of equipment being moved out of al-Tanf.
- U.S. officials have not publicly confirmed the movements, and SOHR noted it remains unclear whether the shift is temporary repositioning or a permanent exit.
- Iraq’s security office said 4,583 Islamic State detainees transferred from northeast Syria have arrived in Iraqi custody in secured facilities.
