Syria's military intercepted drones launched by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) near Aleppo's Tishreen Dam on Friday, accusing the Kurdish-led group of violating a March 2025 peace agreement. The incident marks the latest flare-up in a weeks-long cycle of attacks and counterclaims.
State media reported that SDF snipers also targeted a security checkpoint in Aleppo, injuring one officer. Internal Security Commander Mohammad Abdel Ghani warned civilians to avoid conflict zones, vowing 'necessary measures' if violations continue. The SDF, meanwhile, claims its forces were shelled first and responded 'limitedly.'
💥 Why It Matters
The March 10 agreement—designed to integrate northeastern Syria under Damascus' control—now hangs by a thread. While both sides pledged to prevent clashes and unify institutions earlier this year, implementation has stalled amid mutual accusations of bad faith.
Analysts fear renewed fighting could destabilize regions already grappling with post-war recovery. As one Aleppo resident told us anonymously: 'We’re tired of being caught in the middle.'
🌍 What’s Next?
With trust at rock bottom, regional powers are watching closely. Will this spiral into wider conflict, or can international mediators revive the peace process? For now, civilians brace for more uncertainty.
