Syria beefs up security measures in Aleppo to allegedly protect civilians amid SDF restrictions
——————————
The Syrian Interior Ministry said Wednesday that security measures have been tightened in Aleppo in an alleged attempt to protect civilians and counter restrictions by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the northern province, Anadolu Agency reported.

A ministry statement said the internal security forces tightened measures to safeguard civilians and secure their safe departure from the Sheikh Maqsoud and al-Ashrafieh neighborhoods in the province.

The steps respond to attempts by the SDF to restrict the movement of residents, and impose forced conscription amid continued violations, including assaults, harassment and repeated threats to lives and property, the ministry added.

According to the ministry, the Internal Security Command has implemented a wide and intensive security deployment to ensure the protection of civilians and their property, and counter any attempt to compromise the security of the city and the safety of its residents.
