US-backed Syria force demands IS jihadists surrender
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIslamic State group jihadists defending their last remaining territory in Syria have no choice but to surrender, a Kurdish-led force says, ahead of a victory declaration expected within days.
The warning by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) comes as European nations reacted coolly to a US call to repatriate European nationals in Syria, which Germany said would be “extremely difficult.”
Diehard IS fighters are now trapped in their last patch of territory of less than half a square kilometer in the village of Baghouz near the Iraqi border.
