The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) continued their offensive against the Islamic State (formerly ISIS/ISIL) in and around Manbij, north-east of Aleppo, Saturday, in a bid to capture the strategically important city.
The soldiers were backed by US-led coalition airstrikes. In the footage, civilians including many women and children can be seen fleeing the combat zone.
Manbij is believed to be a key supply route for the IS to smuggle weapons in from Turkey. If successfully captured, the IS could lose its ability to resupply in the region. The offensive has been underway since Thursday.
