The Syrian government and Syrian Democratic Forces have reached a four-day ceasefire in a bid to see the implementation of a new agreement between the two, struck on Tuesday.
If implemented, the agreement reached by Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa and SDF military leader Mazloum Abdi would see Abdi put forward a candidates deputy defence minister, governor of Hassakeh, and see the integration of SDF forces into the military.
Additionally, the Syrian army would not enter the cities of Hassakeh, Qamishli, and other predominantly Kurdish villages.
Meanwhile, the Syrian army has taken control over the Al-Hol refugee camp, which is housing thousands of family members of Islamic State fighters.
The camp was abandoned by the SDF as the Syrian army was moving into Hassakeh province, the group's stronghold.
