Informed sources confirmed on Friday that the state of maximum alert at Harir Air Base near Erbil Governorate has ended for the first time in five days. They also indicated that the debris of a blimp used as an early warning and monitoring device has begun to be collected.
The sources explained to Al-Maalomah that “Harir Air Base, where US forces are stationed, has begun to reduce the state of maximum alert that prevailed during the past five days. Detachments were observed collecting the debris of a blimp destroyed by a drone a few days ago, which served as an important tool for weather surveillance.”
They added that “the main gate of the base has been opened, which may lead to the resumption of convoy traffic, especially towards bases in Syria, particularly since US forces have already begun a gradual withdrawal from Harir Air Base in recent weeks.”
The sources indicated that “the withdrawal process from the base is moving towards a complete evacuation, which is expected to be completed before September 30, according to the approved plans.”
