The Syrian army on Friday issued formal warnings of impending military strikes on Deir Hafer, a town located east of Aleppo. The military has called on civilians to evacuate the area, stating it will target positions held by Kurdish forces.
In multiple statements, the Syrian military specified that the targeted locations in Deir Hafer are being used by Kurdish forces “as a launching point for their terrorist operations towards the city of Aleppo and its eastern countryside.” This attribution is based on the army’s official announcements.
The warnings follow the recent deployment of Syrian army reinforcements to the Deir Hafer region. This military buildup occurred after Kurdish forces were driven out of Aleppo city last week.
