Syrian Forces Under Fire for Alleged Aleppo Shelling: New Video Released
A recent video released by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) appears to show Syrian army shelling in the heavily contested Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood of Aleppo. The footage, which has sparked outrage among human rights advocates, depicts a large ammunition and weapons depot belonging to the SDF being targeted by artillery fire.
Eyewitness accounts suggest that the shelling, which took place on January 9th, caused significant damage to the facility and left many civilians in the area without access to basic necessities. The Syrian army has denied any involvement in the attack, but the SDF has accused the regime of attempting to disrupt their operations in the region.
The video, which has been verified by multiple sources, shows a dramatic escalation of tensions between the two sides. With Aleppo remaining one of Syria's last major strongholds against government control, concerns are growing about the potential for further violence and instability in the already war-torn city.
As the conflict continues to rage on, human rights organizations are calling on all parties involved to adhere to international humanitarian law and respect the rights of civilians caught in the crossfire.

, it's like the whole world is watching but nobody's doing anything to stop this madness. I mean, what's going on with these videos? They're so grainy, you can barely see anything, but you can still tell the scale of destruction... and those civilians, they must be living in a nightmare right now 
. The fact that the Syrian army is denying involvement just makes it all sound like some kind of propaganda tactic. And what's with the SDF being targeted? Are they just trying to disrupt their own operations or what? 
SDF is like "us vs them" – can't they just talk it out? 
Aleppo's getting hammered, innocent ppl sufferin'... when will we stop this senseless violence? 
The whole world's watching, time for some diplomacy! 
. But we also need to be careful not to take sides without all the facts... Aleppo is a super complex situation, and it's not like we can just walk into it and expect everything to be clear-cut 
We gotta keep an eye on this and make sure we're not just perpetuating more violence without really understanding the situation 
.
it's like they're just dragging out this war for years now. I mean, what's the point of fighting if you're not gonna actually make a move on the city? It feels like nobody's gonna end up in control here. And those civilians caught in the middle are just getting more and more hurt 
syrian army's just tryna protect themselves from the sdf's constant attacks, maybe they took a shot at that depot by mistake? and what's with all these "human rights" groups always looking for fault? can't they just acknowledge both sides are messed up in this situation? Aleppo's been under siege for years, maybe it's time we stop playing hero and start seeing the bigger picture 
. Can't a rebel just get some peace around here? On a serious note tho, it's super sketchy when artillery fire goes off in residential areas, civilians caught in the crossfire... yikes 
... probably more explosions and fleeing civilians 
. And what about all those civilians stuck in the crossfire? It's heartbreaking 
. And now with this new video showing Syrian army shelling in Aleppo, I'm even more worried about civilians trying to survive amidst all this chaos 
It's not too much to ask for, right?
.
! i cant believe they were targeting an sdf base like that its so reckless. and yeah Aleppo is still a mess 
. Can't believe those Syrian army forces think they can just fire away without thinking about the innocent lives at risk #StopTheViolence #AleppoDeservesBetter 
. We need to put pressure on our leaders to get involved and broker peace ASAP before more civilians get hurt 
, how are ppl supposed to survive? and now there's a new video that shows the Syrian army denying any involvement but it looks like they're telling a big fat lie 
. It's not always easy, but every small act of kindness or compassion can add up to something big 
... I think we should all strive to be the voice for those who don't have one 
.
I'm like 3 days late to this thread... I saw this video too and it's wild how the SDF is trying to pin this on the Syrian army. The footage looks super intense and it's crazy that Aleppo is still a major battleground. I mean, have you guys seen the state of Syria lately? It's been like 10 years since the whole thing started and nobody's really sure who's winning or losing anymore
