GoPro footage from a recent SDF release shows SDF fighters in direct contact with the Syrian National Army near the City of Tell Rifaat in the Northern Aleppo Governorate. This footage was filmed on January 30th, and has been mischaracterized as YPG footage by several sources, however the logo in the top right hand corner of the video indicates that it was released specifically by the SDF, which has loose military ties to the YPG. It's also worth noting that the SNA or Syrian National Army is the re-branding of the former Free Syrian Army, not to be confused with regime forces in the Syrian Arab Army.

Isn't Syria fun?
