According to SANA, Syrian army units were deployed in Tal Tamr town in the northwestern Hasaka, as well as several villages and towns in the countryside of Raqqa, to counter the Turkish military operation.

Syrian forces were deployed a day after Russian-brokered deal between the Kurds and Syrian regime that allows the deployment of Syrian troops in the northeast areas for the first time in years, after Turkey launched an offensive targeting Kurdish forces.
