SDF militia: US-backed campaign in eastern Syria to accelerate

BEIRUT – A US-backed campaign against Islamic State (IS) in eastern Syria will accelerate now the jihadist group has been defeated in its former capital Raqqa, a spokesman for US-allied Syrian militias said on Wednesday.

 

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which announced the defeat of IS at Raqqa on Tuesday, will redeploy fighters from the city to frontlines with Islamic State in the eastern province of Deir ez-Zor, Talal Silo said by telephone.
