Syrian opposition freed the El Baba Center from the fighters of the IG

The Syrian opposition, with the support of the Turkish army, almost completely captured the El-Bab city center and began to clean the city from the Islamic State Group fighters (prohibited in Russia). This was reported on Thursday by Reuters with reference to the data of the Ministry of Defense of Turkey.

The Turkish agency "Anadolu" reported that now the opposition is engaged in the clearance of bombs and explosives laid down by terrorists. As one of the fighters participating in the assault told the publication, some of the terrorists are hidden in the underground tunnels dug.

El Bob is located 30 kilometers from the border of Turkey. In December, Turkish troops and opposition detachments approached the city. The Turkish authorities said that the operation to liberate the city takes more time than expected due to the civilian population that was in the city.

Earlier it was reported that in Mosul the battles of the government army continue with the support of the United States for the airport. The military managed to recapture the runway from the IG fighters.
