The Syrian Arab Army conducted a precise strike on SDF military site No. 12 in Aleppo's Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood, which the SDF claimed was a hospital, while its Operations Authority reported monitoring SDF reinforcements of armed groups and equipment to the Deir Hafir front east of Aleppo, during the 1:45-2:15 p.m. UTC window on Jan. 11, according to X posts by @ivarmm and @syrianFactCheck. Photos of the site posted by X user @omar_alharir show weapons and military vehicles used by PKK-SDF militias to shell Aleppo neighborhoods, refuting SDF claims that it was a hospital. The Operations Authority stated it mobilized forces, strengthened deployment lines east of Aleppo, and prepared for all scenarios, without specifying the nature of the SDF crowds. This strike follows Asayish denials of ceasefire claims and reports of ongoing clashes in Sheikh Maqsoud with HTS-led forces earlier on Jan. 11, as cited in prior updates by X user @karimfranceschi. Syrian Army monitoring of SDF reinforcements to Deir Hafir echoes earlier aircraft observations reported to SANA during the 12:15-1:15 p.m. window, per X user @Oalhajj87.
