The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), backed up by the US-led coalition, have captured the Sijan oil fields and some nearby points from ISIS in the northeastern part of Syria, near the border with Iraq.
According to pro-SDF sources, the US-backed group has fully secured nearby roads and are now working to pressure ISIS cells operating in the border area further.
Despite having no other active frontlines, the SDF is not hurrying up to put an end to ISIS presence in the border area. Local sources explain this situation with a patrial demoralization of the Kurdish-dominated group with recent defeat of the Kurdish YPG suffered from Turkey in Afrin.
