Jan 14, 2026

Damascus [Syria], January 14: After a recent de-escalation in heavy fighting in Aleppo, the Syrian army has once again declared areas near the city a "military exclusion zone," according to a statement published by the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) on Tuesday.
The army accused the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) of regrouping militarily in several locations, including Deir Hafer and Maskanah, in coordination with the remnants of the former al-Assad regime.
Residents were urged to stay away from positions held by the SDF, while all armed groups were called on to withdraw to areas east of the Euphrates River.
