Investments continue rapidly in the Syrian regions that Turkey has cleared of terrorist organizations. An organized industrial zone consisting of 450 shops was opened in Cinderes, located in Afrin.
The industrial zone is expected to provide employment opportunity for more than 2,500 people.
That the location of the region is close to the Turkish border provides a strategic advantage.
Palestinians celebrated the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Hamas after indirect talks in Egypt, marking the first step of a broader peace plan involving hostage exchanges and Israeli troop withdrawals. Crowds, including children displaced by Israeli attacks, gathered around Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Hospital to celebrate the end of the fighting. Residents in Maghazi Refugee Camp expressed hopes for rebuilding Gaza and establishing a Palestinian state. “Thank God, the war is over. Our homes were destroyed, and our children killed. We thank everyone who helped end this war,” said Yasser Abu Hein. Others shared optimism that Gaza would “return better than before.”
Israel confirmed that the ceasefire would begin following a cabinet vote later in the day.
