ISIS is reported to have crossed the Euphrates and attacked the SAA (Syrian Army). Reports say the SAA repelled the attack and are forcing ISIS back toward the Euphrates.
ISIS is cleared away from the rivers and larger towns, and are roughly surrounded in the open desert terrain - ideal for air strikes and artillery attack.
Iraqi forces are reinforcing the border, as the anvil of the hammer and anvil.
“Coalition strikes supporting Roundup in May exceeded Aprils strike total by 123%, and Marchs strike total by 304%. Ongoing strikes are targeting Daesh command and control centers, weapons production and storage facilities, safe houses and facilitation sites. We and our Iraqi partners are also targeting a lot of tunnel complexes and underground storage sites, where Daesh are hiding, said Funk.”
