"Syria's transitional government forces entered the city of Deir Hafer, eastern countryside of Aleppo, on Saturday after an agreement was reached with the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Footage shows a military convoy driving through the city's streets as locals cheered. Destroyed and damaged buildings can also be seen across the area. "Thank God, we are safe now," Abdul Aziz Marwan Al Ali, a local, remarked. "We hope that all of Syria will be liberated." "I personally think that today is the first day of liberation from Bashar al-Assad, given that the al-Assad regime and the SDF are identical. Thank God, today we are liberated from Bashar Al Assad," another local, Mohammed Ahmen Al Shamsi, added. The Operations Command of the transitional government announced that it has already begun deployment in the western Euphrates region from the city of Deir Hafer, affirming the 'complete establishment' of military control over the city and working to secure the city before advancing towards the areas of Maskanah and Dibsi Afnan.   Syria's transitional government forces accused SDF of 'breaching the agreement', claiming the group targeted a patrol affiliated to the Syrian army near the city of Maskanah. The attack reportedly killed two soldiers and injured others. The forces therefore announced the west of the Euphrates a closed military zone. The SDF denied these claims, while stressing that the clashes erupted after a violation of the internationally sponsored agreement committed by the Damascus government, which allows the government's forces to enter Deir Hafer and Maskanah after SDF fighters completely withdraw.  "The entry of the forces before fighters had completed their withdrawal created a dangerous situation with serious consequences," SDF added, calling for 'a complete respect of the agreement to ensure total withdrawal as agreed upon.' This comes after Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Commander Mazloum Abdi announced "to withdraw our forces from the current contact lines east of Aleppo to the east of the Euphrates, followed by calls from friendly countries and mediators," aimed at completing the integration process and upholding the provisions of the March 10 agreement. The Kurdish declaration was preceded by transitional President Ahmed Al Sharaa's announcement of a constitution that 'recognises the rights of Syrian Kurds', comprising eight provisions that guarantee the Kurdish language as a national language - alongside Arabic – and the celebrations of their Ensures heritage and other rights. The development unfolded following deadly clashes between the two sides in the neighbourhoods of Ashrafiyeh and Sheikh Maqsoud last week. The SDF militants eventually pulled out of the two neighborhoods. On March 10, an agreement was inked between the President of the transitional government, Ahmed Al Sharaa, and SDF commander Mazloum Abdi "to integrate all civil and military institutions of the Kurdish self-administration into the Syrian state" by the end of 2025.  The agreement has not yet been implemented at the time of publication, with periodic clashes between the two parties."
