The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have seized more ground in Deir Ezzor Governorate of the country from the Islamic State terror organization. Military officials in the SDF have said that the troops are in striking distance from the some of the strategic towns held by the Islamic State.
These SDF troops are currently coordinating with the Iraqi Security Forces to clear the last remaining pockets controlled by the Islamic State. While the US is reduced the number of troops operating in Iraq, they continue to offer tactical support from the Iraqi and Syrian forces to ensure that the gains are maintained and the remaining pockets under ISIS are recaptured by government troops.
