SDF are combing the city in search of the last remaining terrorists. SDF launched its offensive to retake Manbij on May 31.
The town had served as a key transit point along ISIS’s supply route from the Turkish border to Raqqa(Raqqah), the de facto capital of its self-styled ‘Islamic caliphate.”
The SDF first encircled the town in early June and surged into it later that month.
But its assault was slowed by a fierce terrorist fightback using suicide attackers and car bombs.
