Syrian Arab Army: sweeping operations in Sheikh Maqsoud are coming to an end

The Syrian Arab army operations’ command announced Saturday that the sweeping operations to clear Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood of mines and remnants of SDF organization are coming to an end.

“We urge civilians in Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood to remain at home and not go out, as some members of SDF and the terrorist PKK organizations are still hiding in the area,” the army operations’ command said in a statement on Saturday.

The statement urged citizens to contact the military forces present in the area for any emergency or for reporting about the presence of any strange members.

Earlier, the Syrian army dismantled dozens of mines in Sheikh Maqsoud streets; paving the way for the entry of internal security forces once sweeping operations concluded.

Several members of SDF organization were arrested, and the army seized heavy and medium weapons, large amounts of ammunition, light arms and explosive device
