Four killed in Aleppo clashes during SDF integration talks

Fighting in Aleppo, Syria, on Tuesday resulted in at least four deaths, including three civilians and one soldier, with the government and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) blaming each other for the violence. These clashes are part of ongoing tensions as efforts to integrate the SDF into the Syrian army stall, risking further conflict and potential Turkish involvement. Local officials reported resumed fighting and heightened fears among residents, prompting the suspension of schools and flights in the area. The integration deal, aimed for completion by the end of 2025, has seen little progress due to mutual accusations of bad faith.
