On 25 September, Al-Ahad TV captioned a clip, “30 September: end of the military presence.” Its earlier caption identifies the presence in that line as American military presence and calls 30 September “Sovereignty Day.” The newer clip’s caption is a dated assertion by the outlet; its silent frames do not establish what the reporter said.

“30 September: end of the military presence.”
الثلاثون من أيلول نهاية الوجود العسكري
The outlet’s departure line should not be read as a 30 September deadline for factions to hand over weapons; the two dates concern different processes.
