2. VARIOUS OF SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS CELEBRATING AFTER YPG/SDF MEMBERS DEPARTED FROM SHEIKH MAQSOUD ALEPPO, SYRIA - JAN. 10: The last remaining neighborhood in Aleppo previously held by the YPG/SDF terror group was retaken after a convoy of four buses carrying YPG/SDF members departed from the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood on Saturday, Jan. 10, according to the Syrian Army.

The Syrian Army announced Saturday the completion of a full security sweep of the Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood in the northern city of Aleppo amid escalation with the YPG/SDF terror group​​​​​.

Since Tuesday, SDF has shelled residential neighborhoods, civilian facilities, and Syrian Army positions in Aleppo.

The attacks have killed nine people and wounded 55 others, and triggered the displacement of about 165,000 residents from the Ashrafieh and Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhoods.

On March 10, 2025, the Syrian presidency announced the signing of an agreement for the SDF’s integration into state institutions, reaffirming the country's territorial unity and rejecting any attempts at division.

Authorities said, in the months since, the YPG/SDF has not shown any efforts to meet the terms of the agreement.

The government has intensified efforts to maintain security across the country since the ouster of the Assad regime in December 2024, after 24 years in power.
