Daily brief
The Syrian government has accused the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) of deliberately releasing ISIS detainees from a prison in Hasakah, calling it a serious security breach. The Syrian Army stated it is ready to take over administration of ISIS prisons in the region, while Türkiye rejected claims it aided in the release. Reports indicate dozens of escapees have been arrested as Syrian forces deploy east of the Euphrates.
A US strike in northwest Syria killed an al-Qaeda-linked leader tied to a deadly ambush (ongoing coverage).
