The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) beat the ISIL back from more positions in the town of Manbij in Northeastern Aleppo after hours of non-stop battle, Kurdish sources said on Friday.

“The SDF fighters stormed ISIL’s strongholds and seized back Madfaa square near Western gate of Manbij and the police traffic building at the M4 Highway,” the sources said.

“The SDF is likely attempting to separate the Eastern and Western parts of the town in order to cut off different ISIL units and defeat them one after another,” the sources added.

Meantime the source said that the SDF has intensified its offensives against the ISIL Southwest of the strategic town of Manbij in Northern Aleppo province.

“The SDF units are steadily advancing in various areas of the city, with special attention to the Northwestern neighborhoods,” the sources said, adding, “The ISIL positions in Manbij have also been under heavy airstrike in the last 24 hours, which ended in destruction of 5 ISIL tactical units, 2 positions, a mortar launching-pad and a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device.”

Meantime, the Syrian Army ground troops, backed up by the Air Force and artillery units, hit the defense lines of Jeish al-Islam terrorist group hard in Eastern Damascus and pushed the militants back from part of a key town in the region, battlefield sources said.

“The Syrian army men, in several hours of non-stop battle, entered a part of the town of Mayda’a, which ended in the killing at least 9 militants while capturing the Eastern district of the town,” the sources said, adding, “If the Syrian soldiers win back the town, they will have effectively positioned themselves to strike Hawsh al-Farah from three separate directions.”
