Syrian Government Forces carried out another light artillery strike on the corridor through which civilians can leave the neighbourhoods in Aleppo

Al Zuhur area.

Towards the end of the video a STG soldier forbids the civilian from filming more - only STG media outlets are allowed to openly take footage as to not interrupt the extensive media warfare, creating false narratives, against the Kurdish people in Aleppo.

In a short moment, STG outlets will post videos from the area and claim that the “SDF” attacked it.

The morale is very high among the Kurdish forces - the Syrian Government attempted to storm the neighbourhood several times from the north and the west but were repelled each time.

Masoud Barzani, head of the KDP released a statement calling on the Jolani led Syrian administration and the Kurdish factions to stop the ongoing fighting in Aleppo.

Statement:
„In the name of God, the Most Great, the Most Merciful.
The political changes in Syria were a good opportunity to find an appropriate way to address the rights of the Kurdish people in Syria and to resolve all problems. In this context, and with all parties, we have made great efforts so that all problems and disputes are resolved through dialogue and peace.

However, the dangerous situation, war, and violence taking place in the city of Aleppo are extremely concerning and threaten the lives of innocent civilians. They also pose a threat of racist targeting against the Kurds in that area.
I call on the Syrian authorities not to allow political disputes, national disagreements, and existing problems in the Aleppo region to cause Kurdish citizens to suffer, be subjected to violations, or be expelled from the land of their parents and ancestors. I also call on the Kurds, especially the SDF, to stop this. They can do so to halt wars and conflicts, prevent further killing, and for both sides to work toward dialogue and negotiation to resolve the problems.
Political disagreements must not endanger the lives of civilians or lead to racism against the Kurdish nation. These are crimes against humanity with serious consequences.“

Masoud Barzani
7 January 2026

Masoud Barzani has only intervened in Syrian affairs once - and his intervention came at the first serious threat of a military operation against the Kurdish people in Syria (Rojava) - Masoud Barzani intervening now is evidence that the situation in Aleppo is highly dangerous and volatile.
That the Kurds are threatened to be massacred by the Syrian Government.

Urgent

President Bafel Jalal Talabani: We are following with concern dangerous indications of efforts that threaten the Kurdish presence in Aleppo.
