In an official statement, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) accused the Damascus government forces of carrying out provocative moves in the vicinity of the town of Deir Hafer, Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods, considering them a violation of the ceasefire and the signed agreements.
SDF explained that groups affiliated with the Damascus government began days ago with”suspicious movements in several areas, especially in the vicinity of Deir Hafer town and its villages,” noting that these groups “continue to violate the ceasefire.” It stressed that its forces “remain committed to patience and do not respond to these ongoing provocations,” warning that it “will be forced to respond from the standpoint of legitimate defense” if these movements continue.
SDF also reported that other groups have been gathering for days in the vicinity of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods, where “they intensify their patrols, in addition to their drones flying almost continuously in the skies of the two neighborhoods,” pointing out that one of these aircraft “blew up on the outskirts of the neighborhood” in a clear provocation.
The SDF considered that these moves “contradict the spirit of the agreement signed between the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh Neighborhoods Council and the Damascus government on April 1,” noting that they are “condemned by the people of the two neighborhoods” and”endanger the safety of civilians.”
The SDF called on the Syrian government to “control the behavior of those uncontrolled elements” and preserve the signed agreements, stressing the need to avoid “everything that would increase tension” and maintain “civil peace in the city of Aleppo and other areas.”
