Kurdish forces reach the northern gates of Raqqa after liberating four more villages
[ALMASDARNEWS] Following new gains, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have advanced to within a few kilometers of Raqqa city, bringing four new villages under their control over the past 24 hours.

With the fourth phase of operation Euphrates Wrath in full force, the SDF took control of Tal Maaz, Melali, al-Atshana and Abu Khabret al-Rachid in a rural region northwest of Raqqa.

Similar to djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, 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....
forces have turned to jacket wallahs to fend off attacks from hostile belligerents. A SDF-linked outlet said "tens" of ISIS snuffies were killed but did not specify the jihadist corpse count during the Kurdish advance.
