An 'SDF-Regime Remnants' Alliance in Aleppo?

Following the recent fighting in the Kurdish-populated Aleppo city neighbourhoods of Shaykh Maqsud and Ashrafiya that saw the expulsion of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and central government takeover, some observers noted that the Alawite insurgent group Fawj Azra’il al-Jabal put out an announcement apparently claiming to have lost four fighters in the clashes. For some, this was supposedly a major revelation that proves some kind of alliance between the SDF and ‘regime remnants’ to undermine the government.

But what exactly is the story here? I asked Fawj Azra’il al-Jabal’s leader Abu Ali Sumer to explain (and in this regard, I would like to thus make clear that the rumours of his arrest are untrue).
