Last ISIS-Held Village In Syria Falls to US-Backed Forces

DEIR AL ZOR, SYRIA - MARCH 23: Coalition snipers keep lookout over the SDF victory ceremony announcing the defeat of ISIL in Baghouz held at Omer Oil Field on March 23, 2019 in Deir Al Zor, Syria. The Kurdish-led and American-backed Syrian Defense Forces (SDF) declared on Saturday the "100% territorial defeat" of the so-called Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL. The group once controlled vast areas across Syria and Iraq and a population of up to 12 million, an aspired "caliphate" that drew tens of thousands of foreign nationals to join its ranks.
