ISIL Burning Farms, Exploding Buildings While Retreating in Raqqa Battlefields
Kurdish sources in the Northern territories of Raqqa province said on Wednesday that the ISIL terrorists have been ordered by their commanders to devastate buildings and farms before pulling forces back from the battlefields.
"The ISIL, who have lost key territories in the Southern side of the town of Ein Issa under the heavy large-scale operation of the Syrian Democratic Forces in the last 24 hours, burnt the farms and destroyed building in the village of Qartaj and in the small town of al-Fateseh before fleeing the battlefronts," the sources said.
"The ISIL did the same while pulling its forces back from the village of Namroudiyeh," the sources added.
Reports said earlier today that the Syrian Democratic Force (SDF), mainly Kurdish fighters, continued to drive the ISIL terrorists back from more positions in the Southern side of the town of Ein Issa and took full control over one more key village in the region, Kurdish sources said minutes ago.
