Anti-Daesh Forces Get the Better of Terrorists in Battle for Manbij

DAMASCUS (Sputnik) — The military service personnel were deployed to the area in the past few days as part of the US-led international operation to defeat Daesh terrorist group.

Syrian television reported last month that Germany’s commandos had entered Syria to join French and US military forces in their offensive against the Daesh-controlled city of Manbij.

Manbij, located between Daesh's de facto capital of Raqqa and the Syrian-Turkish border, is a strategically important area for the terrorist group.
