Syria: Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) group retakes northern city of Manbij from ISIS militants
An alliance of Kurdish and Arab forces has reportedly managed to retake the strategic northern Syrian city of Manbij from Takfiri Daesh terrorists.
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) managed to take “almost complete control” of the area, located 446 kilometers (277 miles) north of the Syrian capital, Damascus, on Saturday.
The Britain-based group said there are still pockets of Daesh militants present in the center of Manbij.
The development came a day after SDF forces made significant advances in the city.
Manbij lies along the only supply line of Daesh between the Syrian-Turkish border to the north and the group’s main stronghold in Syria, Raqqah, which lies to the southeast.
