Syrian Government Forces Seal City of Hasakah Under Ceasefire Deal
Tensions in the Syrian city of Hasakah have eased after Syrian government forces entered the city, following a ceasefire agreement between the two sides. The move has been seen as a significant development in the ongoing conflict in the region.
According to reports, the government forces moved into the city under the terms of a ceasefire deal, which was reached between the Syrian government and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Al Jazeera journalist Teresa Bo is on the ground, where she witnessed the troops entering the city.
The takeover has been seen as a major milestone in the conflict in Hasakah, which had been controlled by the SDF since 2015. The city's strategic location has made it an important prize for both sides, and its control has been a point of contention between the government and the Kurdish-led forces.
The ceasefire agreement was announced in recent days, as tensions between the two sides had reached a boiling point. The deal aims to reduce violence and allow for the peaceful transfer of power from one side to another.
Eyewitnesses report that the Syrian government forces have taken control of key infrastructure in the city, including the airport and major roads. The SDF has reportedly withdrawn its forces from the area, following the entry of the government troops.
The development comes as a significant relief for residents of Hasakah, who had been living under the threat of violence for months. However, it remains to be seen how long the ceasefire will last, and whether it will hold in the face of ongoing tensions between the two sides.
For now, it appears that the Syrian government has made significant progress in gaining control of key territory in the region. The takeover has been welcomed by some as a major step towards stabilizing the conflict zone.

, but how long is going to last? we've seen this before, where are the guarantees that this ceasefire won't just be another temporary thing? and what about the people who live in Hasakah, have they been protected from any potential reprisals against them? it's not like the Syrian government has the best track record when it comes to human rights. still, I suppose it's a step in the right direction, but we need to see more concrete actions to ensure that this doesn't just lead to another cycle of violence 
. It's been such a long time since tensions have eased there, and it feels like a big weight's been lifted off the shoulders of the residents. I can only imagine how scary it must've been living under the threat of violence for months 
. But it's amazing to see the Syrian government forces and the SDF coming together and agreeing on a ceasefire deal 
.
. But for now, let's just take a deep breath and celebrate this small victory 
. It's definitely a positive step forward in a long and complex situation 
.
for the people of Hasakah! It's been ages since they've had some peace and quiet 
. I mean, can you even imagine living in a city with constant violence and threat of attack? Not fun at all 
. So yeah, I think it's awesome that the government forces have taken control under this ceasefire deal 
. Let's hope it holds for real this time 
...no more living in fear, yay! 
I'm glad to see some calm in Hasakah for now 
The government might have gained control, but that doesn't necessarily mean the SDF has given up or is defeated 
. We need more concrete solutions than just another ceasefire deal 
.
. The SDF has been holding out there for ages, and now they're stepping back – it's gotta be a big relief for them and the city folk who've had enough of all the fighting 
. Of course, there are still gonna be tensions between the government and Kurdish forces, but at least this is a step in the right direction 
.
, i mean we've all seen those videos of whats happening in the middle east lately and it feels like theres always another drama unfolding somewhere 
, but seriously, if they can keep the ceasefire going then thatll be awesome 
. The fact that the government forces moved in under a deal with the Kurdish-led SDF means there's at least some stability being worked towards 
. Still, for now, let's celebrate a small win! 
anyway, i feel bad for the ppl in hasakah who've been living under this constant threat of violence for ages... it's like, can't they just have peace for once? 
and now that gov forces are in, lets hope this ceasefire holds and we don't go back to square one 
I mean, on one hand, it's great that the city of Hasakah is finally under control and tensions have eased, right? 
. I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop, you know? I mean, who exactly thought this ceasefire deal would stick when there's so much at stake? The SDF has been holding out for years, and now it's all being handed over to the government on a silver platter... I don't buy it 
. This is just gonna lead to more bloodshed down the line, mark my words 
.
. still, gotta give credit to whoever made this deal, it's definitely a positive step forward 
. hope the ceasefire holds and ppl in Hasakah can finally live in peace 
. just gotta keep an eye on things now
