SDF troops reach ISIS stronghold after seizing nearby town
2019-01-14
[AlMasdar] The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) continued their advance in the eastern part of the Euphrates River Valley tonight as their troops seized another town from the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) terror group.

Backed by U.S. and French artillery strikes, the Syrian Democratic Forces managed to capture the small town of Abu Badran this evening after scoring a big advance earlier in the day.

According to reports from eastern Deir Ezzor, the Syrian Democratic Forces have now reached the outskirts of al-Sousah, which is the Islamic State’s last major stronghold in the eastern Euphrates region.

Once the Syrian Democratic Forces capture al-Sousah, the Islamic State will be forced to withdraw to the last two towns under their control in this Euphrates pocket.
