The operation by the US-led coalition to force the Daesh out of the Syrian-Turkish border region has cleared 50 villages in northern Syria, Operation Inherent Resolve spokesman Col. John Dorrian said at a briefing Thursday.
Dorrian said the operation has further isolated the Daesh in pockets around Raqqa, the Syrian stronghold of the Daesh.
