US reaction to jihadist attack ---- Following the killing of two U.S.
soldiers and a civilian interpreter, the US air-force targeted 70
ISIS-affiliated sites in Syria on december 19. The US Defense Secretary
stated that the objective of the operation is to dismantle ISIS
fighters, infrastructure, and weaponry. Additionally, the US army and
their local partner forces conducted 10 operations in Syria and Iraq,
resulting in the killing or detention of 23 Islamic State of Iraq and
al-Sham (ISIS) operatives. US fighter jets, attack helicopters, and
rocket artillery engaged multiple suspected ISIS locations throughout
central Syria. Instances of airstrikes and explosions were reported in
the desert areas of Homs, eastern Raqqa, and western Deir ez-Zor provinces.
In addition, Donald Trump has declared on December 16 that Syria entered
the expanded US travel ban list, citing concerns related to security,
screening, and information sharing. As a result of this decision, Syrian
citizens are prohibited from entering the United States, along with
nationals from other countries and holders of travel documents issued by
the Palestinian Authority.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) expressed their support for the
airstrikes. They referred to these actions as a crucial move to
undermine ISIS efforts to reorganize and launch new attacks.
New integration proposal
The Syrian government submitted a 13-point proposal aimed at integrating
the SDF. According to reports, this proposal involves reorganizing the
SDF into three divisions within the Syrian army, deploying additional
government forces to northeastern Syria, and placing the SDF under the
authority of the Ministry of Defense (MoD).
An SDF delegation will soon be sent to travel to Damascus to discuss
several outstanding issues related to military integration, including
the status of YPJ units, specific SDF commanders within the MoD, and the
internal security forces of the SDF.
Additionally, reports indicated that the Syrian government and SDF
agreed to finalize negotiations concerning the military and security
dimensions of the March 10 agreement this year. However, discussions on
unresolved political issues, such as decentralization and constitutional
matters, will be postponed until next year.
Potential change of Turkish position
Turkey may have softened its stance on some elements of the negotiations
regarding the integration of SDF in the new Syrian army after Thomas
Barrack met with the Turkish Foreign Minister, Hakan Fidan on December
16. Fidan had previously demanded that the SDF integrate into the Syrian
army as individuals instead of as divisions. Following the Barrack
meeting, Fidan reversed his position, stating on December 17 that Turkey
would not pursue military action against the SDF and expressed optimism
about the integration negotiations.
This new position comes inline with a recent declaration of Mazloum
Abdi. The SDF commander declared on December 13 that "neighboring
countries" are not "as hostile as before" toward the SDF and that the
"SDF's presence" is no longer an "excuse for war."
Continuous developments:
The United Kingdom sanctioned two Syrian army commanders and three
Turkish-backed armed factions on December 19 for committing human rights
abuses during the Syrian coastal massacres in early March. All of these
entities are currently integrated into the Syrian army.
Transitional Government forces launched an attack on the town of Majdal
in the Suweida province countryside using drones and mortars, leading to
injuries for two individuals. The Suweida National Defense Forces
Command stated that it would respond decisively to any ceasefire
violations and attempts to enter the region.
Transitional Government forces have increased checkpoints and patrols
around the Aleppo neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsood and Ashrafiyeh. The
passage of fuel and basic needs into the neighborhoods is not allowed
anymore.
