BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:00 P.M.) - The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have scored a major advance in eastern Deir Ezzor, today, seizing a new town from the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) terror group.
Backed by U.S. Coalition airstrikes, the Syrian Democratic Forces made their last major push inside of Al-Kashmah on Sunday morning after seizing most of the town from the Islamic State terrorists.
According to local reports from Deir Ezzor, the Syrian Democratic Forces were able to overpower the remaining Islamic State militants in the southern part of Al-Kashah, forcing them to retreat south to the nearby Al-Shafah area.
Following the withdrawal of the Islamic State from Al-Kashmah, the Syrian Democratic Forces swept into their areas and secured the entire town.
With Al-Kashmah lost, the Islamic State terrorists now find themselves confined to a small portion of the Euphrates River Valley.
The Syrian Democratic Forces have already begun striking the Al-Shafah area in a bid to make a push to seize this rugged region from the Islamic State terrorists.
