The Syrian army announced on Wednesday that the Russian fighter jets bombed the main gathering center of the ISIS terrorists in the city of Raqqa, inflicting major casualties on the militants.

The neighborhood of al-Moroor that is mainly resided by the ISIS terrorists came under the massive bombardments of the Russian warplanes.

Scores of the terrorists were killed or wounded in the air raid. 

Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) Spokesman Tajir Kobani announced earlier today that commanders of the SDF-affiliated groups in Northern Syria have, in a secret meeting, coordinated the process of a joint final operation for liberating Raqqa from the ISIS terrorists.

"Our troops with their heavy weapons have been gathered near Kobani in Northern Syrian," the spokesman said, adding, "We will begin our operation from three directions simultaneously."

"The SDF will make a push for the city from the recently liberated Tishrin dam Northwest of Raqqa, and from two more directions of Tal Abyadh and Hasaka Northeast of Raqqa," Kobani went on to say, FNA reported.
