Syria’s government reported that a drone strike by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) killed seven soldiers, which the SDF denied, claiming the explosion occurred during Syrian troops’ handling of explosives. Tensions have escalated after recent fighting, with the Syrian army demanding the SDF integrate into its security forces. The U.S. has shifted its stance, suggesting a lack of long-term interest in supporting the SDF’s autonomy while backing the Syrian government’s offer for integration. This situation threatens a proposed ceasefire and highlights the complex dynamics of U.S. foreign policy in the region.
