Two Asayish fighters affiliated with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) were buried today, October 11th, 2025, in Aleppo, five days after their deaths during clashes in the Sheikh Maqsud-Ashrafiyah district. A member of Damascus Security forces from southern Idlib was also killed yesterday in separate clashes with the SDF in the same Aleppo district, with at least three others wounded, according to reports from QalaatAlMudiq. These developments in Aleppo occur as Syrian authorities in Damascus province addressed property disputes in the Qadam district this morning. A provincial statement, released between 12:38 PM and 1:38 PM UTC on October 11th, 2025, indicated that tensions which erupted last night in Qadam were related to these disputes and emphasized the authorities' readiness to receive complaints exclusively through official legal channels to maintain civil peace. This follows reports of hundreds of residents protesting in Qadam overnight against individuals described as "Regime remnants." Previous reports from earlier today detailed a historic visit by Syrian Foreign Minister Fayçal Mekdad to Lebanon, coinciding with an agreement reached in Beirut concerning the fate of prisoners. Discussions also touched upon ongoing disinformation campaigns targeting Syrian Christians and a call for the repeal of the Caesar Act by Christian clerics in Syria. Additionally, Sheikh Hikmat Al-Hijri issued a statement appealing for urgent humanitarian intervention regarding a siege threatening civilian lives in the Jabal Al-Arab region. Further context from earlier reports indicates ongoing discussions between Syria and the United States regarding the implementation of the Shar’a-Abdi agreement. This agreement includes forming a military committee to integrate the Syrian Democratic Forces into the Syrian Army and addressing decentralization and local administration, alongside committees on constitutional matters, education, health, and joint administration of the Qamishli–Nusaybin crossing.
