Syrian experts visit critical dam spillway near main IS base
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSyrian engineers and Red Crescent officials visit a spillway of a key dam west of the Islamic State group’s stronghold of Raqqa, opening the gates and relieving pressure, according to the aid organization and Syrian Kurdish media.
The visit follows concerns that the Tabqa Dam is threatened, endangering the surrounding area that has become a battleground as US-backed forces push toward Raqqa, the IS group’s self-proclaimed capital. The main gates of the dam, further to the south from the spillway, are out of service.
