The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have captured the village of Fakka and advanced on ISIS positions at the villages of Dashishah and Matari in eastern Syria, near the border with Iraq.
This SDF advance is a part of the anti-ISIS operation announced by the US-led coalition along the Syrian-Iraqi border on June 3.
At the same time the town of Hajin and nearby villages in the Euphrates Valley still remain in the hands of ISIS despite being encircled by the SDF.
