(Worthy News) – U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters are beginning to return to the front lines of the fight against the Islamic State in eastern Syria, now that Turkey’s offensive against the Kurds in the west has eased, a U.S. military spokesman said.
ISIS controls two areas in Syria east of the Euphrates River. One is in and around town of Hajin, which is along the river, and the other is near Dashisha, near the Syria-Iraq border.
The Turkish offensive aimed at driving the Kurds in northwest Syria away from its border pulled many Kurds away from the ISIS fight to defend their home areas, and forced the U.S. into an “operational pause” in February and March. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
