ISWNews Analysis Group: Contrary to news that Syrian Army forces had withdrawn from the Tal Abu Rasin area east of Ras al-Ayn, new forces and equipment including several battle tanks, BMPs, Gvozdika self-propelled 122 mm howitzer, Grad rocket launchers, etc. were deployed on the outskirts of Ras al-Ain, in particular the Tal Abu Rasin and Um Harmal area.
Clashes between Turkey-led forces and the Syrian Army forces and the SDF in the south and east of Ras al-Ayn have intensified in recent days; however, the situation on the frontlines around Ras al-Ayn has not changed significantly.
After the agreement between Turkey and Russia over the safe zone in the eastern Euphrates, the situation in the Ras al-Ain region is still tense, and it is unclear whether the fate of the region has been taken into consideration or not.
However, in recent weeks, the activities around Ras al-Ayn indicates a lack of a comprehensive agreement on this area.
