Trucks prepared to evacuate Syrian civilians from IS enclave: Source

Trucks entered the last Islamic State enclave in eastern Syria on Tuesday to evacuate remaining civilians, a source in the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said. The SDF has said isolating the civilians in the enclave at Baghouz from the remaining jihadists holed up inside is a crucial step towards the final capture of the area - the last territory held by the jihadist group in eastern Syria.

A Reuters witness in a location near Baghouz saw dozens of trucks moving along a road towards the village.
