Episode Notes:

In recent fighting between government forces and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, the government has captured large swaths of territory. An extended ceasefire is now in place. The presence of prison camps holding Islamic State fighters and their families further complicates the security situation. Alexander McKeever, author of the Substack newsletter "This Week in Northern Syria," joins the Warcast to unpack these developments.
