Also a government source reported the killing of three members of the security forces and four civilians in addition to the injury of others following the escalation of clashes and shelling in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In April 2025, the SDF withdrew its military forces from the neighborhoods following an agreement reached between the Civil Council of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh and the Syrian transitional government. The deal recognized the neighborhoods\u2019 distinct security, administrative, and service status and established a framework for cooperation with relevant institutions in Aleppo to safeguard stability and ensure the continuation of local governance and essential services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Reporting by Nuraddin Omar<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Editing by Jwan Shekaki<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ALEPPO, Syria (North Press) \u2013 Syrian authorities partially reopened on Thursday three roads leading to the Kurdish neighborhoods of Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh in Aleppo, northwestern Syria, allowing pedestrian movement for the first time since recent security tensions.
