The East Aleppo offensive (2024) is an operation launched by the Syrian Democratic Forces in December 2024 against the Syrian National Army (SNA) to regain control of territory that was lost during the Manbij offensive and to advance from Dayr Hafir into the Tishreen Dam area.

Background

Main article: Operation Dawn of Freedom

Despite a US mediated truce leading to a ceasefire of the Manbij offensive, the SNA refused the evacuation of SDF fighters or civilians, executed captured SDF soldiers and attempted offensive operations against the SDF, resulting in fighting near Tishrin Dam.

The offensive comes around the same time in which several Syrian rebel factions agreed with de-facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa to dissolve their groups and to fall under the country's new Defense ministry. The SDF did not participate in this meeting in Damascus.

Offensive

The Manbij Military Council of the SDF initiated an offensive against the Syrian National Army near the Tishrin Dam on 23 December 2024. The SDF managed to take control over several villages south east of Manbij.

The following day, SDF started assaults in two different directions. From Dayr Hafir, the SDF advanced along the west bank of the Euphrates where they took control of the Babari pumping station, five kilometres south of the town of Al-Khafsah. Further north, fighting also started around the Qarah Qawzaq bridge. A spokesperson of the Women's Protection Units (YPJ) stated that its fighters were located just over 11 kilometers (7 miles) away from the center of Manbij city, which was later confirmed by the SOHR. The SDF captured the Babiri water station and advanced five kilometres away from Al-Khafsah town, and advanced towards Abu Qalqal village. One civilian died in the clashes. At least 12 SNA fighters were killed in clashes with YPJ and MMC fighters in the Tishrin Dam and Qere qozak bridge after an attempted infiltration.
