Syrian Army Offensive Sparks Mass Exodus as Aleppo Truce Collapses Intense fighting has returned to Syria's Aleppo province, shattering a period of fragile calm and forcing tens of thousands of civilians to flee a renewed government offensive [45588]. Clashes between the Syrian army and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) erupted on multiple fronts, including the northern suburbs and areas east of the city [43634][49667]. The violence marks a significant escalation after political talks between the Damascus government and the SDF stalled [45585]. A previous agreement to integrate the SDF into the national army has failed to materialize, creating a vacuum that has led directly to military action [45588]. Both sides have blamed each other for initiating the latest combat, which has caused multiple deaths [44512]. The surge in fighting has triggered a rapid humanitarian crisis. Aid groups report a massive movement of displaced families seeking safety away from the front lines, though the exact number is still being assessed [45585]. The exodus follows expanded evacuation orders as clashes move closer to populated areas [45588]. Aleppo province already hosts many people displaced from earlier phases of Syria's long-running civil war [45585]. The United States, which backed the SDF in the fight against the Islamic State group, is now attempting to mediate a ceasefire [44512]. The stalemate between the Syrian government and the SDF is deepening, threatening to unravel relative stability in northern Syria and complicating international efforts in the region [44512][49667].
