Kurdish-led SDF forces cut off ISIS supply line between Raqqa and Deir ez-Zor
2017-03-08
[ARA] Supported by the US-led coalition, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Monday cut off a key ISIS supply line in northeastern Syria, military sources confirmed.

The SDF troops seized control of a main road that was used by 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....
’s (ISIS) jihadists as a supply line between the cities of Deir ez-Zor and Raqqa‐the group’s de facto capital in Syria.

"Our forces today made a remarkable advance against ISIS snuffies and cut off the Raqqa-Deir ez-Zor route," the SDF leadership said in a statement to ARA News, using another acronym for ISIS.

The progress came after the Syrian Democratic Forces expelled ISIS bandidos gunnies from seven villages alongside the road between the two major cities in northeastern Syria.

"We have now tightened the siege on ISIS snuffies inside Raqqa, and the SDF-led Euphrates Wrath Operation will continue until the terror group is isolated completely inside Raqqa city," the SDF said.

After losing the key supply route, ISIS will most likely be unable to bring any more military reinforcements into Raqqa city.
