The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) has accused factions aligned with the interim Syrian government of carrying out multiple provocative actions and direct violations of the March 10 ceasefire agreement across Aleppo and Deir Ezzor.

According to a statement issued by the SDF on Monday, these factions have engaged in “suspicious movements” near Deir Hafer and surrounding villages in recent days. The SDF emphasized that despite these provocations, its forces have maintained restraint and have not responded—but warned that continued violations may force them to act in legitimate self-defense.

Attacks near Aleppo districts raise alarm

The SDF further highlighted that groups affiliated with Damascus continue to escalate their presence around Aleppo’s Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafieh neighborhoods, supported by intensified patrols and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) activity. One drone even detonated near Sheikh Maqsoud, undermining the April 1 agreement established between local councils and the Syrian transitional government.

Dozens of breaches across multiple fronts

In its official public release, the SDF revealed that more than 22 violation incidents occurred in Deir Ezzor, Deir Hafer, Tishrin Dam, Tal Tamr, and Aleppo. These violations included shelling, ground assaults, and attempts to cross the Euphrates to attack SDF positions. The attacks injured at least 11 civilians, significantly endangering populated areas.
