BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:00 P.M.) – The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are reportedly handing over several villages to the Free Syrian Army (FSA) in northern Aleppo.

According to local activists in northern Aleppo, the Syrian Democratic Forces will hand-over the villages of Tal Rifa’at, Mennagh, Kafr Karmeen, Deir Jammal, Harbek, ‘Ayn Daqnah, and Mur’anez to the Free Syrian Army.

Initially, the Syrian Democratic Forces seized these villages from the Turkish-backed rebels; however, in some strange agreement recently, these sites will be handed back over.

These villages are located just north of the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) positions in the Al-Zahra’a Valley, which puts the latter in a rough situation as they prepare for their large-scale offensive in the ‘Anadan Plain.

(Update 10:35 P.M.) – Free Syrian Army issued a statement that denies reaching an agreement with the Kurds.
