Serious Escalation Despite the Ceasefire in Ain Issa, Al-Shaddadi, and Raqqa
Despite the declared ceasefire agreement and the official statements issued in this regard, factions affiliated with the Damascus government continue their attacks on our forces in Ain Issa, Al-Shaddadi, and Raqqa.
At this time, violent clashes are taking place between our forces and those factions in the vicinity of Al-Aqtan Prison in Raqqa, which houses detainees of the ISIS terrorist organization, representing an extremely dangerous development.
We affirm to public opinion that the level of threat is escalating significantly, amid attempts by these factions to reach the prison and seize control of it. Such actions could lead to serious security repercussions that threaten stability and open the door to a return of chaos and terrorism.
Accordingly, we present these facts to the public and hold the attacking parties fully responsible for any catastrophic consequences that may result from the continuation of these attacks.

As of the time of issuing this statement, these clashes have resulted in the martyrdom of 9 of our fighters and the injury of 20 others.
Clashes are still ongoing at this time, amid extremely dangerous security conditions.
