Ceasefire after Aleppo fighting

Syrian government forces and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) agreed to a ceasefire following a night of clashes in Aleppo that left several civilians dead. The truce halted fighting between the two sides after violence erupted overnight in the city.

The confrontations come just days before an end-of-year deadline set for merging the SDF with the Syrian army, underscoring tensions surrounding the planned integration and the fragility of local security arrangements as authorities push forward with their timetable, as reported by Al Jazeera
