QSD: Damascus-Linked Groups Committed Massacre of Civilians in Central Syria

The English section of webangah News Agency,citing Mehr News Agency and Al Mayadeen network,reported that local networks linked ⁣to‌ the Syrian Democratic Forces ‌(SDF) claimed armed groups loyal to the Damascus regime and supported by Turkey attacked the village of Um ⁤Tina near Deir Hafir,east of Aleppo province,in‍ central Syria on saturday. They accused these groups of killing civilians during the assault.

The SDF‍ described this ‍act as a “massacre of civilians” and ⁣held Damascus responsible for the ‌consequences of this attack.

This‍ development comes ⁣one day after Abu Muhammad‍ al-Julani, leader ​of the ruling faction in Syria, ⁤warned ⁣that failure‍ to​ integrate the SDF into⁢ the Syrian army before year-end woudl have severe repercussions.

In March 2024, Al-Julani signed an‌ agreement with Mazloum Abdi, commander-in-chief of ⁤the SDF, outlining plans⁣ to incorporate SDF forces into Syrian government ⁢military and institutions. ⁢Under this deal, territories controlled by the SDF would come under supervision aligned with Syria’s designations regarding terrorism. Though, implementation​ has stalled due ‍to critically important disagreements between both parties.

these escalating disputes have also halted prisoner exchange processes between them.
