DEIR EZZOR: Kurdish-led troops launched a final assault on Friday against diehard Daesh fighters clinging to the last sliver of their “caliphate” in eastern Syria.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) resumed their offensive after plucking a last batch of civilians from the riverside village of Baghouz where the militants are holed up.
“Nothing remains in Baghouz except for terrorists. The battle ... will not end until the elimination of Daesh and the liberation of the village,” SDF spokesman Mustafa Bali said. “We expect a fierce and heavy battle.”
