Fierce clashes are taking place between ISIS gangs and SDF fighters advancing through the eastern front.

US-backed Commander:

ISIS is Struggling to Hold Raqqa

Islamic State jihadists struggled Tuesday to remain in control of land in and around Raqqa after holding the territory for more than two years, a leader of U.S.-backed forces in Syria told VOA.

coalition forces had liberated “tens of villages and cities, including strategic Tabqa city and two major dams,” since the U.S.-backed forces launched an offensive earlier in the day.

“Until today we have advanced slowly because the safety of the civilians is very important for us, and we have taken every measure to ensure the life of civilians,” he said. But he added that the SDF had “momentum” and that IS could not resist as it once did.
