Local sources confirmed that the Iranian militias ended their presence at the military checkpoints on Hama road.

The local "Ain al-Furat" network said that the militia withdrew from Hama - Salamiyah - Al-Raqqa road suddenly, coinciding with the removal of its members from the checkpoints located on Aleppo - Al-Raqqa road passing from Maskana and the western countryside of Al-Raqqa, in light of information that Russia is behind these movements.

The network added that all the checkpoints, starting from Al-Alef checkpoint at the entrance to Hama to Safyan crossing at the western entrance to Al-Raqqa, are now devoid of any Iranian militia presence, as the Iraqi Hezbollah, Al-Nujaba and Lebanese Hezbollah members were withdrawn from along the road.

It pointed out that the Russian forces, in agreement with the Syrian regime forces, emptied most of the military and security barriers from Aleppo-Al-Raqqa road to Shuaib al-Bouas crossing, west of Al-Raqqa.

The sources pointed out that the number of checkpoints that have been vacated so far is about 14 military points, in light of information received about moves to evacuate all the checkpoints deployed from Homs to Deir Ezzor.

It is noteworthy that the area from which the barriers were removed is an area of operations for "ISIS" organization, which is clearly active in the desert regions, and all campaigns launched by the Syrian regime forces in cooperation with the Russians, Iranians and allied militias have so far failed to end its presence or reduce its attacks.
