Syria force launches assault on last IS redoubt


SYRIA: Kurdish-led forces on Friday launched a final assault against diehard militant fighters clinging to the last sliver of their “caliphate” in eastern Syria. Bali said the decision to resume the push came after the evacuation of the last civilians willing to leave the enclave and following the release of captured SDF fighters. An SDF commander told AFP that his force is advancing slowly and with caution because of the threat of underground tunnels and improvised explosive devices. While the last remains of IS’s statehood experiment are about to disappear, the group remains a potent force in both Syria and Iraq. Some of them managed to slip out with the thousands of civilians who were evacuated over the past 10 days.
