The US-backed alliance Syrian Democratic Forces ousted the Islamic State group from Raqqa's Old City bringing them closer than ever to the jihadists' most well-defended positions, Independent reported.
“Our forces today seized full control of the Old City in Raqqa after clashes with ISIS,” Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) spokesperson Talal Sello said on Friday.
“We are on the edges of [ISIS’s] security quarter in the city centre, where most of its main bases are,” he added.
