U.S.-backed Syrian force: Islamic State in "its final moments"
"They are living the final moments and realise that this battle is the battle to eliminate them," said Mustafa Bali, SDF media office head.
Asked about SDF progress, the spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition, Colonel Sean Ryan, said: "The SDF is making great progress and continues to liberate more territory once held by ISIS (Islamic State), but the fight continues.
"The lasting defeat of ISIS is still the mission and they still present a very real threat to the long-term stability in this region, so it is not over yet." (Writing by Tom Perry; Editing by Kevin Liffey)
