HASAKEH, Syria, Feb 2, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Syrian government security forces entered the Kurdish stronghold of Hasakeh city on Monday, AFP correspondents said, under an integration deal agreed with the Kurds last week.

An AFP correspondent saw a convoy of security force vehicles cross a Kurdish forces checkpoint into the northeastern city, as part of Friday's agreement to gradually integrate the Kurds' military and civilian institutions into the state.
