SOUSA: US-led warplanes bombed the north bank of the Euphrates River in eastern Syria early on Friday to flush out holdout militants from the last sliver of their crumbling"caliphate".
An SDF official who asked not to be named said that warplanes of the US-led coalition resumed airstrikes on suspected militant positions in the early hours of the morning. The six-month-old operation to wipe out the last vestige of IS's once-sprawling proto-state is close to reaching its inevitable outcome.
IS declared a"caliphate" in June 2014 after seizing a vast swathe of territory larger than Britain straddling Iraq and Syria.
