A series of successful attacks by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) has forced the remaining ISIS fighters in Hajin to withdraw to a few positions in the southern part of the town, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on December 13.
“During the last 48 hours, the SDF managed to break the group’s [ISIS] defense lines inside Hajin and achieved significant advance after capturing Hajin’s hospital, two other hospitals, the bazar and other areas,” the UK-based monitoring group said in its report.
A spokesman for the SDF, Mustafa Bali, confirmed that US-backed forces have imposed its control of the center of Hajin following clashes with ISIS.
“Today the SDF liberated central Hajin from Daesh [ISIS] as the fight nears its conclusion,” Bali said on Twitter.
A day earlier, ISIS attacked key positions of the SDF in the northern part of Hajin with at least five suicide vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices (SVBIEDs). More than 15 SDF fighters were killed and injured. However, US-backed forces continued its advance.
The SDF will likely capture the entire town of Hajin in the upcoming few days as ISIS appears to be suffering from a severe shortage in manpower and supplies.

The only ISIS members fighting are those who didn’t get, or weren’t sent, the order to change into SDF uniform.
So the original reason the US is here in the first place is about to become redundant, no more Isis means no more need for the US protection from them, it’s time for the US to leave. The Kurds have been on strike lately and letting the other members of the SDF do the fighting at Hajin, could it be that they were in fact the ones that wanted to prolong Isis’s lifespan in Syria, and not the US itself. Looking at the amount of US airstrikes I’d say the US was very intent on getting rid of Isis, but the absence of anything more than just a few very loyal Kurds fighting at Hajin doesn’t tell me the same story about them. Trump quickly trained and brought in replacements for the Kurdish fighters that were refusing to fight, as I say he broke their strike, it seems too much of a coincidence that Erdogan has just announced a new military venture into Kurdish territory just after Trump brought in the scab labour and ended their strike at Hajin, they’re both related I think. If the Kurds haven’t already gone to Assad with new pledges of cooperation I’d be very surprised, they must be getting hysterical by now at the failure of their strike to achieve anything, combined with Erdogan’s new threats of invasion to worry them even more. Listen for some new pledges of allegiances from the Kurds to Assad, they’ll be promising even more than they did last time they tried to make up with him, this time they’ll be desperate, not just angry at the US, but angry and desperate, and even more inclined to compromise with Assad. Everything’s going to plan just as it’s supposed too, at least it is from someone’s perspective, but from who’s perspective do we look to see the plan working out perfectly. I think I know, but you have to look through 4 eyes not 2 to see what I think I can see.
