Damascus-affiliated groups have detained dozens of Kurdish residents in Aleppo’s Sheikh Maqsood neighborhood over alleged ties to the SDF. The Kurdish-led force has denied any affiliation, saying the detainees are civilians who are being “forcibly” separated from their families.

🚨ATTENTION | WARNING THE STORM OF CHANGE… ISIS & AL-QAEDA RETURN… On the streets of Damascus, growing lines of jihadist Islamist youths are queuing to receive books of doctrine and Sunnah. At the same time, the Damascus government has released thousands of ISIS members from the prisons it had taken over from the Kurdish forces. In al-Hol camp, the escape of thousands of the group’s women and children continues amid escalating chaos. The facts are converging in one direction that cannot be ignored: the return of ISIS, more brutal, more organized, and more prepared than ever before. #ISIS #Islamist #syria

#New The U.S. skipped a Ukraine-focused meeting with European allies to prioritize a "historic" joint session with Syria’s FM al-Shaibani and Kurdish Gen. Mazloum Abdi, Sec. Marco Rubio told reporters. Speaking in Bratislava, Secretary Marco Rubio stated Washington chose to work with Syria’s interim authorities rather than risk "18 pieces, civil war, ISIS running all over the place, and Iran getting back in." He said President Trump twice pressed Ahmad al-Sharaa to halt fighting, allowing thousands of ISIS detainees to be moved to Iraq and buying time for a Kurdish integration deal with Damascus. “The key now is implementation,” Rubio said. Key Takeaways: Direct Intervention: President Trump twice pressed al-Sharaa to halt fighting in the NE, securing the region. ISIS Security: This pause allowed 4,000–5,000 ISIS detainees to be transferred to Iraq, preventing a "massive jailbreak." Integration Deal: The move bought time for a landmark Kurdish integration deal with Damascus. Minority Inclusion: Rubio stressed that implementation must now expand to the Druze, Bedouins, and Alawites. "The key now is implementation," Rubio said, noting that Amb. Tom Barrack is already briefing Congress on the trajectory.

Security Operation in Shewa Kills 18 FAK Militants, Locals Aided The Escape On 18 May 2026, security forces conducted a successful intelligence-based operation in Shewa, North Waziristan, eliminating 18 FAK militants during the engagement. According to officials, a video has surfaced showing some local individuals attempting to assist the militants during the operation. The footage shows these facilitators trying to create a shield around the militants and open a route for them to escape the cordon. Officials said that militants often hide among civilians and rely on local support networks to obstruct security operations. They noted that such facilitation poses a major obstacle to counter-terrorism efforts in the area. Authorities stated that both the militants and their local supporters are undermining regional stability for their own objectives. Security forces reaffirmed their commitment to continue operations against militants and their facilitators despite these challenges.

According to unverified reports, the Pakistan Army has launched another military operation in Balochistan under the Arabic codename "Operation Sha'ban". Unverified sources claims that 79 rebels hiding on hilltops have been killed so far.

HTS DETAINEES Family members of detainees held by HTS in Idlib protested in Aleppo today, demanding their release. Reports suggest those being held are made up of members of civil society that have been detained for simply exercising their rights, some having spent months and even years. Though reports are also circulating that some of the detainees are religious extremists. Either way, Jolani must address the issue immediately, as it contradicts reassurances he has made to Syrians. clarity on this topic to the Syrian people will demonstrate a seriousness by Jolani to set the country on a positive trajectory that is both transparent and lawful.

This is quite noteworthy. Multiple reports suggest KDP authorities are preventing people with Duhok and Erbil IDs from crossing into Syria’s Kurdish areas, while allowing those with Sulaimani and Kirkuk IDs to go and join Kurdish forces or take up arms. Several people from Duhok and Erbil say they were turned back at the border after being asked to show their IDs. So far, the KDP’s support has largely remained limited to humanitarian assistance and media coverage. Even on the media front, KDP outlets, especially K24 and Ava, are said to have received directives to highlight Syrian Kurdish needs while avoiding praise for, or sustained focus on, the SDF.

Syria is in turmoil. 🇸🇾 For weeks, government and activist propaganda portrayed the scenes of convoys of Iraqi trucks loaded with oil heading toward Baniyas as an unprecedented milestone in Syria’s economic recovery. However, what the propagandists failed to mention is that Baniyas is not the final destination for the oil; rather, it is rerouted abroad, and the profits from this go to new economic actors sympathetic to or affiliated with the Syrian Transitional Government—not to the population. Compounding the energy crisis caused by the regional conflict with Iran, Damascus decreed a 40% increase in the price of oil.
