The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) managed to take control of the silos of the city of Manbij from the ISIL as they are now very close to the city center. The SDF forces are now only two kilometers away from Manbij city center, the Arabic-language media quoted informed military sources as saying on Sunday. The sources reiterated that mines and IEDs (improvised explosive devices) laid down by the ISIL terrorists have slowed down the SDF fighters' further advances. Reports said on Saturday that the SDF fighters continued to advance against the ISIL in the Southern entrance of Manbij and captured more districts of the town after hours of non-stop battle. "The SDF fighters seized the Southern entrance of Manbij after capturing the nearby Grain Silos from the ISIL)," the sources said, adding, "However, the Syrian Democratic Forces did not stop there; instead, they pushed further North and won back Shariah School, which left scores of the militants dead or wounded."
