The Syrian Arab Army responded to Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) militias at Tishreen Dam east of Aleppo Governorate and Ain al-Issa in Raqqa Governorate during the 8:46-9:45 p.m. UTC window on Jan. 11, according to an X post by ivarmm. Aleppo's Deputy Governor stated to Al Jazeera that a number of fighters in the SDF ranks in Sheikh Maqsoud and Achrafieh neighborhoods do not hold Syrian citizenship, per an X post by AJSyriaNowN in the same period. This follows Syrian government forces' entry into those Aleppo districts after Asayish evacuation earlier on Jan. 11, as reported in prior windows by Suriyakmaps. The army's response comes amid ongoing tensions, including SDF-Asayish booby-traps discovered in Sheikh Maqsoud and the use of Yassin Hospital as a military base, according to X posts by Omar Madaniah and Alaraby TV during the 7:15-7:45 p.m. window. Interior Ministry teams continue demining operations in the area, per earlier reports by QalaatAlMudiq. Separately, urgent U.S.-mediated negotiations between the SDF and Syrian government for the March Agreement began earlier on Jan. 11, with government demands including army entry into Jazira, abolition of SDF compulsory service, and dissolution of YPG and YPJ units, as stated by BarracudaVol1.
