Syrian Army Gains Control in Aleppo as Kurdish Forces Withdraw
The Syrian army has intensified its operations in the northern region, specifically entering east Aleppo and neighboring towns following the withdrawal of Kurdish forces. This retreat comes amid escalating clashes between government troops and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Civilians are reportedly fleeing contested areas, with many seeking refuge in government-held territories. The SDF accused the Syrian government of violating ceasefire agreements, leading to heightened tensions. As the situation unfolds, the Syrian military has established military zones and taken control of key towns, raising concerns about a potential wider conflict.
