Kurdish political parties in the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria called for holding a Kurdistan National Conference to unify the Kurdish position and vision in response to the attacks targeting Kurds in all parts of Kurdistan, particularly in the Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh neighborhoods (with photos and video).

Social groups from Deir ez-Zor Canton condemned the crimes committed by mercenaries of the so-called interim government, backed by the Turkish occupation, against the residents of Sheikh Maqsoud, Ashrafiyeh, and Bani Zaid in Aleppo. They stressed Syrian unity against Turkish ambitions rejected by the people and emphasized the importance of dialogue to resolve all forms of conflict (with photos and video).

The head of the Council of the Arab Tayy Tribe revealed his stance on Turkish policies and their historical repercussions on the peoples of the region, affirming the deep bonds of brotherhood among Arabs, Kurds, Christians, Armenians, and other components of society. He stressed that these bonds cannot be erased by any policy or media incitement, and that fraternity among the peoples of the region is stronger than policies of provocation (with photos and video).

Dogan Sabri Hassan, the member of the Internal Security Forces in Aleppo who was wounded during the resistance, revealed that among the mercenary groups that carried out the attack were the Sultan Murad Division, the Hamzat Division, the Amshat faction, and the Levant Front. He noted that the mercenaries had intended to repeat the massacres they committed on the Syrian coast and in Suwayda within these neighborhoods, but the residents decided to resist (with photos and video).
