The battle around Tabqa Dam and Tabqa city has been a month long struggle. This goes a long way to understanding where the battle in Tabqa City is today.

ISIS has fought hard to keep this. The SDF (Kurds and Arabs) have done an amazing job. The last report I read stated more than 60% of the city was in SDF control. Many strategic positions are secured.

This town was about 75,000 people before ISIS took over. The next step in Raqqa which was roughly 240,000 population will be a big one, but things are not going well for ISIS in Raqqa either.

There is a video at the link.

I hope this answers some questions for you.

Is the SDF the jihadists armed by the CIA or are they the jihadists armed by the Pentagon ?

As Trump said ‘we have no idea who we are giving weapons to’

So the Kurds have been unleashed since Trump became president.

They begged for munitions from obozo and never got them

A whole lot of ISIS(gangs) killed in this report. I only saw 1 that was captured. I like these kill/prisoner ratios. Kill as many as possible.
