Tensions between Syria's government forces and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) escalated on Monday as both sides accused each other of ceasefire violations. The exchange of barbs came just a day after the Syrian government extended the fragile truce by 15 days, aimed at supporting a US operation to transfer detained ISIS-linked individuals from SDF custody to Iraq.

According to the Syrian army's operations command, the SDF launched multiple drone attacks in the Aleppo countryside on Sunday, breaching the ceasefire and causing significant damage. The attacks targeted army deployment sites around Ain al-Arab (Kobane), destroying four vehicles and injuring several civilians.

However, the SDF has countered that the Syrian government conducted artillery shelling on areas southeast of Ain al-Arab since Monday morning, prompting violent clashes with their forces. The SDF also accused the Syrian government of deploying additional military reinforcements, including tanks and armoured vehicles, backed by Turkish unmanned aerial vehicles in the airspace.

The ceasefire extension is intended to facilitate the transfer of detained ISIS-linked individuals from SDF custody to Iraq, as part of a broader effort to consolidate President Ahmed al-Sharaa's rule. Al-Sharaa has promised to bring all of Syria under state control, including areas currently held by the SDF in the northeast.

Despite the extension, talks between government and Kurdish authorities remain stagnant. The merger of the two sides is seen as crucial for stabilizing the region, but progress has been slow. As the situation continues to unfold, both sides must navigate their differences while working towards a peaceful resolution.
 
Ugh, it's like they're just going back to square one after trying to extend that truce thingy 🤦‍♀️. Can't they just get along for once? The SDF is like "hey we're gonna protect ourselves" and the gov is all "no no no, you gotta do what I say". It's so frustrating! They need to work together on this ISIS transfer thing and stop bickering 🤝. And what's with all the artillery shelling? Can't they just have a calm conversation like normal people? 😒
 
I'm getting worried about this whole Syria thing 🤕. It seems like everyone's all fired up and no one's willing to listen to each other anymore. I mean, can't we just try to find some common ground here? The SDF and Syrian government are both trying to do their part in stabilizing the region, but it feels like they're speaking different languages 🤔.

I think we need to take a step back and remember that there are people's lives at stake here. Innocent civilians are getting caught in the crossfire, and that's not okay 😢. Can't we all just try to calm down for a second and think about what really matters? The future of Syria, for one thing. 🌟 Let's focus on finding solutions rather than fueling the fire 🔥.
 
🚨😡 I'm telling you, if they're gonna drag this out, let's just get it over with already! These two groups have been going at each other for years and what's the endgame here? The Syrian gov't wants to take back control and bring stability, but at what cost? The SDF is just fighting for their lives up there. 🤕 And don't even get me started on this ISIS transfer thing - it's like a whole new can of worms opens up. When are they gonna address the real issue: Syria needs help, period! 🌟
 
🤔 I'm getting really worried about Syria man... these tensions between the government and the Kurdish-led SDF are getting more intense by the day. It's like they're playing with fire, you know? One minute it's all calm and cool, and the next they're launching drone attacks or artillery shelling on each other. And now, with this ceasefire extension, it feels like a ticking time bomb just waiting to go off.

I'm really concerned about the detained ISIS-linked individuals being transferred from SDF custody to Iraq. What if it's all just a ruse to distract us from the real issues? And what's going on with these additional military reinforcements from Turkey? It's like they're fueling the fire instead of trying to put it out.

I think both sides need to calm down and talk things through, but it's hard to see how that's gonna happen when there are so many differences between them. The situation feels really volatile right now, and I just hope nobody gets hurt 🤞
 
Ugh, another ceasefire failure 😩💔 in Syria... like we didn't see this coming... Both sides blaming each other, it's just getting old. The SDF is saying the gov's been shelling areas and deploying tanks, but the gov's all like "we're not doing anything"... meanwhile ISIS-linked folks are still stuck in limbo 🤯🚫 Not exactly what you'd call a step forward... talks between gov and Kurdish authorities still super stagnant 💬😴 The more I see, the more I think we're just spinning our wheels here...
 
its so frustrating seeing these 2 groups going back & forth like this... its like they cant even agree on a ceasefire 🤯, let alone find a way to work together. the US operation to transfer those detained ISIS links is still going strong, but if the Syrian gov and SDF can't put aside their differences, it'll be tough for that to happen 😒. i think the only way forward is for both sides to try & find some middle ground 🤝. its not rocket science, just gotta communicate & work together towards a common goal 💡. but its hard when its like they're speaking different languages 🗣️...
 
This ceasefire drama is getting old 🙄. Can't we all just get along? Both sides are digging in their heels and making it hard for the US operation to happen. It's like they're intentionally trying to mess things up. I mean, what's the point of a 15-day extension if it's just going to be more of the same? And what about those detained ISIS-linked individuals? When are they going to get transferred out of this mess? 🤷‍♂️ The SDF and government need to start working together instead of pointing fingers. We're all tired of hearing about ceasefire violations and military buildups... can't we just focus on finding a peaceful solution already? 😩
 
Ugh, great, another ceasefire extension that's just gonna get torn apart in a day or two... like it's even possible to keep these forces from going at each other's throats 🤦‍♂️. And what's with the SDF and Syria government playing the victim? One side says the other is breaking the truce, and then the other side responds with some excuse for their own actions... it's all just a big game of blame-shifting 🙄. And don't even get me started on the whole ISIS transfer thing - what's the real motive here? Is it really just about consolidating President al-Sharaa's rule, or is there something more to it? I bet we'll find out soon enough... 🤑
 
🤔 this whole thing just feels like a never-ending cycle, you know? they're always threatening to bomb each other and now there's even tanks involved 🚨. i mean, can't we all just get along for the sake of the people who are suffering in this mess? it's not like any of us have a dog in this fight, right? and what's the end goal here again? is it really just about bringing syria under state control or is there more to it than that? 🤷‍♀️ the more i think about it, the more i'm convinced that we're all just pawns in some much bigger game. 😬
 
the sdfs right to defend themselves cant be ignored 🤕 - its not like they just chillin waiting 4 some american troop 2 take them in, they gotta look out for their own ppl. but at the same time, i get why the govt is all worked up about it too, cuz they dont wanna lose control of syria. its like this: whats gonna happen 2 those detained ISIS-linked individuals? are they just gonna be released into the wild or whats the plan? and wht does this ceasefire even mean for the ppl living in aleppo countryside who r already suffering from years of war? its all so confusing 🤯
 
😕 this whole thing is so frustrating - we're talking about thousands of ppl living in Aleppo countryside who got hurt cuz of ceasefire violations... meanwhile, these ppl are still waiting 2 be transferred 2 Iraq. i mean, whats the point of having a truce if it's just gonna be used 2 shift responsibility? 🤔 and can we talk about how Turkey's involvement is only makin things worse? they're basically arm'n up the government, which is already tryin 2 crush the SDF... its like, where do we draw the line? 🚧
 
The situation in Syria is so complicated 🤯. I feel like both sides have valid concerns, you know? The Syrian government wants to bring stability and state control to the country, but they're using heavy-handed tactics that are causing more harm than good 🚫.

Meanwhile, the Kurdish-led SDF is fighting for their rights and autonomy, especially since ISIS has been defeated 💥. It's not right for them to be held accountable for the actions of a terrorist organization 🤦‍♂️. I think we need to find a way to balance security with human rights and self-determination.

It's like, imagine if someone came into your home and started making demands without even talking to you first 🤔. You'd feel disrespected and threatened, right? That's how the SDF feels about the Syrian government's actions. We need to listen to both sides and try to find common ground 💬. Maybe it's time for some serious talks and compromise 🤝.
 
I don't usually comment but... I'm really worried about what's happening in Syria right now 🤕. It seems like no matter how long they talk about extending the ceasefire, it just gets worse and worse. These factions are so entrenched that even with a new 15-day extension, it feels like we're just putting off the inevitable. And it's not just about them - innocent people are getting hurt on both sides 🤝. I wish there was more pressure from the international community to get these parties talking and finding common ground. It's all so frustrating 💔. Can't we just imagine a future where Syria is a peaceful place again? 🌎
 
I'm so confused about this whole thing 🤯. Like, if the Syrian army says they were attacked by drones and destroyed some vehicles, that's not entirely implausible... but on the other hand, if the SDF is saying it was the government who did the shelling... I mean, what if both things are true at the same time? 🤔 Is it even possible for both sides to be lying? 😱 And why can't we just get some independent observers in there to figure out what's going on? This whole thing is like a bad game of telephone 📞. The fact that the ceasefire extension was only extended by 15 days makes me think they're not really committed to making this work... and yet, at the same time, if they weren't serious about it, why even bother with an extension in the first place? 🤷‍♂️ Ugh, my head is spinning! 💥
 
🤔 I think the SDF needs to take more control and not just rely on the fragile truce, they should be the ones calling the shots here instead of waiting for the Syrian government to extend it every 15 days 🕰️. It's like they're playing into the Syrian government's hands, giving them an excuse to maintain their grip on power. Plus, the SDF has got more to lose if things go wrong, they've been fighting against ISIS and other extremist groups for years, they can't just sit back and wait for the Syrian government to figure things out 🤷‍♂️.
 
i think its really sad that syria is still stuck in this cycle of violence & ceasefire violations 🤕. like, isnt it about time for the government and sdf to just talk things out and work together? the transfer of detenied isis-linked individuals should be a priority right now 🚪. and whats with all these added military reinforcements from turkey?! thats just gonna make things worse 🔥. we need to see some real progress on both sides before anyone else gets hurt 💔.
 
I'm seriously worried about the people caught in the middle here 🤕. Can't we all just get along? It's like they're stuck in some never-ending cycle of violence and retaliation... and what's with all these tanks and drones flying around? 🚀💥 I mean, is that really necessary for a ceasefire? Can't they find a way to talk things out without resorting to heavy artillery? 🤔 And what about the people who are supposed to be getting transferred to Iraq – don't they deserve better than to be caught in the crossfire? 🌪️ It's just so heartbreaking. I guess we'll have to wait and see if they can ever find a way to put an end to all this bloodshed... 🕊️
 
Ugh, can't believe this 😩 what's going on in Syria is so messed up 🤯 I mean, ceasefire violations are one thing, but it sounds like things are escalating rapidly 💥 Like, can't they just get along for the sake of peace? 🙏 The SDF and Syrian government have been at odds for ages, and now with all these innocent civilians getting hurt... 😕 It's just heartbreaking. And what about those detained ISIS-linked individuals? They need help too 🤝 I hope the US operation goes smoothly and everyone can get transferred to Iraq safely 🛬 The situation in Syria is super complicated, but at least we have platforms like this where we can talk about it 📱 Let's keep promoting peace and understanding! 💖
