Hundreds of ISIS terrorists surrender to the Kurdish forces in eastern Syria

The Arabic-language al-Nashrah news website quoted a commander of the Syrian Democratic Forces as saying that the SDF forces have detained over 400 ISIL terrorists who were escaping from Baqouz region in Eastern Euphrates.

It added that hundreds of other ISIL militants have also surrendered to the Kurds, noting that a large number of ISIL members and their commanders are still at large in the town of Baqouz in Eastern Deir Ezzur.

Meantime, the SDF spokesman said that nearly 6,500 people, including ISIL terrorists, have left Baqouz region in the past 24 hours.

Media reports said on Wednesday that over 2,000 ISIL militants had left their last base in Eastern Euphrates with the help of the US-led coalition and Syrian Democratic Forces as Washington and the SDF were planning to declare the end of the ISIL in Eastern Euphrates.

“More than two thousands ISIL terrorists who were stationed in al-Baqouz town in Eastern Euphrates near Syria’s borders with Iraq surrendered to the SDF on Monday after they were given a safe corridor,” the Kurdish-language Bas News website reported.

Meantime, the SOHR reported that a sum of 3,140 ISIL militants and their families left the last areas under their control in Eastern Euphrates.

The pro-militant Baladi news website also pointed to the presence of about 1,000 ISIL terrorists in Baqouz, and said that the surrendered ISIL militants will be transferred to the US-controlled Omar oilfield.

Meantime, sources close to the SDF said they would impose full control over the town of Baqouz to declare the end of ISIL in Eastern Euphrates in coming days.
