Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) now:
"Update- In a new attack, a Turkish Bayraktar-type drone targeted the village of Al-Bu’asi in the countryside of Tabqa city, causing material damage to civilian property."
That's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Tabqah in the autonomous North and East Syria, also known as "Rojava" self-liberated through the Women's Revolution by the ethnically and religiously diverse locals' SDF-alliance.

Update – Damascus-affiliated factions continue their military escalation through indiscriminate artillery shelling of densely populated areas in the city of Deir Hafer, in a renewed attempt to pressure residents and forcibly displace them from their homes.
Over the past hour, the city has been struck by more than 20 artillery shells, in addition to an attack using an explosive-laden drone, posing a direct threat to civilians’ lives and confirming the deliberate targeting of residential neighborhoods.
Our forces are closely monitoring the situation on the ground and continue to carry out their duties, taking all necessary measures to maintain the security of the city and its residents.

Women's Protection/Defence Units (YPJ) Commander Viyan Adar,
on genocide, context being but not limited to the recent epic defense against ethnic "cleansing" at Sheikh Maqsoud and Ashrafiyeh of Aleppo:
After the new dictator of Syria's forces continued its violation of the ceasefire agreement with the Autonomous North and East Syria ("Rojava") by militarily taking even more of the area self-liberated over a decade ago including ethnically targeted forced displacements, resumed attacks at the Tishreen dam including 10 tanks defeated by the defenders as the YPJ, YPG and more within the Syrian Democratic Forces Alliance repelled the crimes against humanity gangs of the new Dictator backed by invader Turkey, the regime demanded the democratic confederalism with its localized democracy, feminism, etc be militarily crushed into the new regime's rule in spite of the previous agreement that the reincorporatoin of the North and East required reciprocation of increased democracy and representation overall in all of Syria, the regime just violently took more of the people's land under itself and then declared ceasefire... again, while it has broken the previous ceasefires

To protect the remains of the Women's Revolution, while the world "leaders" continue to informed do nothing to prevent and stop genocide campaigns, the General Commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces alliance now announced that the Turkey-backed jihadist forces of the new Damascus-regime of the "former" al-Qaeda Emir will now get Raqqa, fellow jihadist ISIL/Daesh's former capital city, and Deir ez-Zor which has been considered the shining example of the success of diversity and secularism until the new regime wrecked it for their lust for supremacist power.

The governments worldwide are so eager to get to kick out the brown people form EU and America that they completely ignore the worst violations possible, and thereby build back up the exact same situations that caused those people to flee for their lives the previous time, but they only need to kick those people out for quick bloody fascist votes for the next election and then figure out how to deal with the disastrous product of their actions after that, just how corporations nowadays only look at the next quarterly report again and again.
New videos now being released by the crimes against humanity gangs of the new dictator in Damascus where they have recorded themselves and then released their own videos of themselves proudly mass-torturing and -murdering prisoners of war and women in at least Tabqa and Raqqa which after mediation by USA's envoy was handed over to the new Damascus-regime's forces which have a record longer than its rulership of systematically doing exactly this, and also following multiple months long extremely well documented such campaigns elsewhere just after grabbing power from bloody Assad.
How much more of the worst possible acts will the world "leaders" accept while they still not just ignore but fund by the billions this crimes against humanity regime?
During the night to today there was reportedly a message from ISIL/Daesh to their fellow "jihadis" in the forces of the new Damascus-regime to please attack the prison in Raqqa where many of ISIL are held, following their genocidal war crimes and enslavement rampage which they illegitimately called their "Caliphate", to break what they called the government forces' "brothers" out.
Now reportedly the regime forces are attacking that prison,
as well as attacks on the city Ain Issa.
