ALEPPO/ISTANBUL
Around 1,000 families have moved to secure areas after departing the Deir Hafir, east of Syria's Aleppo, occupied by the YPG/SDF terror group.
The aerial images of Deir Hafir, which the Syrian army declared a military zone on Jan. 13 along with other locations west of the Euphrates River, were captured by Anadolu on Friday.
In the town, home to around 30,000 people, pedestrian and vehicle traffic has almost completely come to a halt, including the M15 highway.
Certain sections of the M15 highway -- designated by the Syrian Army as a humanitarian corridor for the temporary and safe evacuation of civilians -- had been blocked with concrete barriers by the YPG/SDF terrorist organization.
To ensure the temporary and safe evacuation of civilians, the Syrian Army opened a humanitarian corridor on Thursday and Friday.
However, the terror group YPG/SDF is preventing civilians from leaving in order to use them as human shields in a possible operation.
