The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have captured the rest of the Hisam Abdumalik district from ISIS in the city of Raqqah, according to pro-Kurdish sources.
With this advance the SDF isolated the ISIS-held part of Old Raqqah from the southern direction and now the US-backed force is able to pressure ISIS units in Old Raqqah from multiple directions. This increases the SDF chances to break the ISIS defense in this strategic area.
