ISIS militants are using civilians as human shields in the fight against US-backed troops in their last remaining Syrian stronghold.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and its allies from the US-led coalition rained down a fire storm over the weekend on the dregs of the regime at Baghouz in eastern Syria.
Spokesman for the Kurdish SDF forces Mustafa Bali said that the battle 'will be over soon' despite a painstaking effort to evacuate women and children from the town.
An SDF official said today that some 500 people, including ISIS fighters, have surrendered and evacuated the village and its surrounding areas, with 200 more expected to leave later on.
