(Zaman Al Wasl)- The U.S.-backed Syria Democratic Forces pressed rapid advances against the Islamic State in Raqqa province on Monday, making the strategic Euphrates dam just few blocks from its sight, sources said.
The Kurdish-led alliance of Kurds and Arabs on Saturday took the village of al-Suwaydiya al-Kabira at the banks of Euphrates dam, the country's largest dam at Tabqa on the Euphrates River.
SDF backed by the U.S. air strikes has tightened the noose on the group's self-proclaimed capital of Raqqa city, seizing most of the western countryside.
Kurdish social media pages said the siege of ISIS major pocket will facilitate the military operation that began on Nov.25, and make ISIS collapse imminent in the Raqqa countryside.
In a two-month offensive, the SDF has taken large areas of northern Raqqa province.
On December 10,, it announced the second phase of the operation to oust the jihadists from their Syrian stronghold.
