Syrian Army Aleppo SDF Fighting Erupts as 2026 Ceasefire Agreement Shivers
Intense fighting between the Syrian Army and SDF in Aleppo erupted on Jan 10, 2026, after a failed ceasefire. Explore the impact of this new escalation on PRISM.
The silence in Aleppo didn't last long. According to Reuters, on January 10, 2026, the Syrian Army engaged in intense combat with SDF (Syrian Democratic Forces) fighters in Aleppo after a fragile ceasefire collapsed. The fighting marks a significant escalation in a region that's struggled for stability for over a decade.
Syrian Army Aleppo SDF Fighting and the Broken Truce
The clash was reportedly triggered when SDF fighters refused to withdraw from strategic points as outlined in a previous agreement. While the Syrian Army claims it's responding to a breach of terms, the SDF insists it's defending its positions against unprovoked aggression. Both sides are utilizing heavy artillery, causing civilian displacement in the outskirts of the city.
Geopolitical Stakes in Northern Syria
Military analysts suggest that the control of Aleppo is vital for any group seeking to dominate the northern supply routes. With the ceasefire now effectively dead, the risk of external actors intervening—including regional powers and global superpowers—has increased significantly, threatening to turn a localized fight into a broader conflict.
