"Decades after almost the entire #Syrian #Jewish community left the country, Henry Hamra of #Brooklyn, #NY, stands at the metal door of a small #synagogue in this ancient Syrian city, literally holding the keys to a possible return of Jewish citizens.

Hamra was 15 years old when his family left #Damascus in the early 1990s after the #Assad regime lifted a ban on travel. Many of the Syrian #Jews were unable to sell their homes before they left. Some of the homes ended up occupied by other Syrians while the government took charge of the #synagogues and #schools.

In December, just days before Hamra's visit to #Aleppo, the Syrian government licensed a Jewish heritage foundation he leads, transferring control of Jewish #religious properties from the government to the organization.

The organization will also help restore private property appropriated when the Jewish community left to its Jewish owners."

The #kurds in #syria are again under attack! After the attack of the #kurdish neighborhood in #Aleppo, Syrian government aligned forces are now attacking the #sdf all along the #Rojava (NES) border.
I know there is a lot going on right know to say the least, but this deserves our attention and action. It's not perfect but NES it is undoubtedly one of the most horizontal, ecological and feminist societies on the planet in the modern day and they are being attacked.

¡Los #kurdos de #Siria están siendo atacados de nuevo! Tras el ataque al barrio #kurdo de #Alepo, las fuerzas alineadas con el Gobierno sirio están atacando ahora a las Fuerzas Democráticas Sirias a lo largo de toda la frontera de Rojava (Syria del nor-este).
Sé que hay mucho que hacer en este momento, por decir lo menos, pero esto merece nuestra atención y acción. No es perfecto, pero el NES es sin duda una de las sociedades más horizontales, ecológicas y feministas del planeta en la actualidad, y están siendo atacados.

« #SANA, the Syrian national news agency, is adopting the narrative and strategies of fake news and disinformation of the main Turkish news channels. We can also find the same twisted narratives on the Qatari funded channels of #AlJazeera, blaming #SDF of attacks on civilians that did not take place, or of SDF stopping civilians from evacuating from Deir Hafer. They depict the massacre that is taking place in Alepo as provoked by SDF, as if #STG would rightfully have the control in all Aleppo and SDF came to disrupt it, and now finally STG 'liberated' #Aleppo from SDF. Such disinformation campaign builds a narrative that justifies further tensions and attacks against the territories of the Autonomous Administration»

«Come durante la resistenza di Tishreen, gruppi di civili da tutto il Nord-Est si stanno recando a Deir Hafer, l'area della DAANES più vicina ad Aleppo. Le milizie di Damasco hanno sparato diversi colpi d'artiglieria a pochi metri dal presidio civile che si sta formando»

#Siria #Aleppo

Major clashes happening in the Kurdish neighbourhoods of Aleppo since two days now. Biggest escalation between Damascus General Security and the SDF since the fall of Assad. Not a lot of good news to be had these days and this is one more bad one.

Analysis from https://eyeonkurdistan.substack.com/p/aleppos-kurdish-neighborhoods-under

"Against this backdrop, the assault on Ashrafiyah and Sheikh Maqsoud is not just about two neighborhoods. It is a test of whether post-Assad Syria is drifting back toward coercive centralization as a substitute for legitimacy. Taking control of parts of Aleppo will not compensate for unresolved sovereignty questions in the south, nor will it stabilize a country whose fault lines remain deep and interconnected. If allowed to escalate, the current round of fighting risks unraveling fragile agreements, reigniting broader conflict, and turning Syria once again into a theater of regional collision rather than recovery."

#Aleppo: Angriff auf kurdische Stadtteile - Seit gestern fliehen tausende Bewohner:innen auf den kurdischen Stadtteilen Sheikh Maqsoud und Ashrafieh in Aleppo.

Auch tausende Familien aus Afrin haben in Aleppo Zuflucht gefunden, werden jetzt erneut vertrieben. 1/
