Angry Euphrates Operation: Kurdish Fighters Push ISIL Back for 10km on Day 1 of Raqqa Operation

The Kurdish fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) pushed ISIL terrorists back from a village and an area 10km in depth on the very first day of their Raqqa operation on Sunday.


"The SDF started its offensive on ISIL positions from two flanks near the towns of Solouk and Ein Issa. The Kurdish fighters advanced nine kilometers from Solouk direction and 10 kilometers from Ein Issa's direction," Kurdish sources said Sunday afternoon.

"The SDF, in Ein Issa and Solouk offensives, beat ISIL back from the village of al-Wahid, five farms and a small but strategic base near the village of Laqteh," the sources aid.

"ISIL's military vehicles also sustained major damage in the attacks," the sources went on to say.

Earlier today, the SDF declared the start of military operation to capture ISIL's de facto capital of Raqqa.

The start of the 'Angry Euphrates Operation' was declared on Sunday by Kurdish commanders in a press conference in the Syrian town of Ein Issa, North of the ISIL bastion.

The SDF said the US would coordinate with the Kurdish fighters to provide air cover during the Raqqa operation.
