ERBIL (Kurdistan24) - According to reports from Monday morning, Syrian opposition forces have entered the strategic city of Manbij in northern Syria, where they have faced strong resistance from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Based on information obtained by Kurdistan24, ongoing armed confrontations between SDF forces and opposition groups continue within the city.
Despite their initial advance into Manbij, opposition forces have not succeeded in establishing control over the city at this time.
The situation in Manbij represents a significant escalation in northern Syria, occurring just one day after opposition forces successfully took control of Damascus, marking the end of the Assad regime. This developing situation could have important implications for the balance of power in northern Syria and the broader region.
This is a developing situation with updates expected.
