The Military Operations Administration of opposition factions participating in the “Deterrence of Aggression” operation issued a call for members of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to leave with their weapons to northeastern Syria.

In a statement today, Sunday, December 1, the Military Operations Administration said, “We are fighting the criminal Assad regime and pushing Iranian militias away from our cities and villages, which ensures the safety of our people and their safe return.”

The statement continued, “We offer you the chance to exit the city of Aleppo with your weapons towards northeastern Syria safely.”

The Military Operations Administration also confirmed that the Kurds of Syria are an integral part of the Syrian community and have all the shared rights with the other citizens of this country.

“We assure our Kurdish people in Sheikh Maqsoud and other towns in the city of Aleppo that you are our kin, and you have what we have and are obligated to what we are obligated. We are responsible for your protection and ensuring a dignified life for you.”

In a separate statement, the Military Operations Administration called on military officers affiliated with the regime’s armed forces and commanders of divisions and brigades in all Syrian cities to defect, expressing its readiness to secure the defection of any officer wishing to lay down arms and safely move to opposition-held areas in northern Syria.

The statement said, “Officers, you have seen and witnessed how your army collapsed in the Deterrence of Aggression battle, and the wise learns from others before it is too late.”
