The SDF said that its fighters clashed with ISIS cells four times during their advance, as a result four fighters of ISIS were killed and eight others were captured. Light weapons and a communication device were also captured by SDF fighters.
The US-led coalition conducted four airstrikes to facilitate the SDF’s operations in the southern al-Hasakah countryside, according to the SDF’s statement. These airstrikes killed eight fighters of ISIS and destroyed two vehicles, a motorcycle and a position of the terrorist group.
The SDF resumed its military operation against ISIS in the southern al-Hasakah countryside on July 1. Once the area is secured, US-backed forces will launch a new operation against the remaining positions of ISIS along the eastern bank of the Euphrates River, according to a recent report of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
Just wondering where all the ISIS are going to right now as the SDF and US always negotiate with them Afghanistan or through Turkey to Afrin and Hatay then the Turkmen region?
The Homs Desert. Bashar said it was OK.
Theyll be used elsewhere. Maybe phillipenes or china or russia
North America possibly Canada and Mexico !!
These Turcomans did a lot of cruel things there on the border with Hatay. They need to be strung up with piano wire!
A sign of the effect of US direct support is that in the small backwater battle US planes twice as many as the SDF ground offensive.
