«Breaking News» ISIS suicide bombers attack crowds fleeing terror group’s last bastion as US-backed forces move in

ISIS suicide bombers have attacked crowds fleeing the terror group's last bastion as US-backed forces have moved in, an SDF spokesperson has said. 

A witness told Reuters that the terror group had sent three women suicide bombers to the area to target the families who were leaving.

Six civilians are said to have been killed with three US-backed troops having been injured by the blast. 

Throughout the week civilians have been moving out of the area with their families, walking over the rocky conditions in Baghouz. With the elderly and children often having to climb up difficult paths.

An official with the Syrian Democratic Forces, who goes by the name Ciyager, said IS militants are still holding 300 prisoners, both civilians and SDF fighters, adding that their fate is unknown.

The campaign to uproot the militants from the eastern banks of the Euphrates River began in September, pushing them down towards a last corner in the village of Baghouz, near the Iraqi border. 

The operation to uproot the militants has been halted several times since February 12 as the SDF said a large number of civilians and hostages were in the territory.

Earlier this week the SDF resumed its final push in the area before reducing pressure after strong resistance from the extremists.

This is while hundreds of IS fights and family members surrendered.  

Ciyager said there are no negotiations under way to secure the prisoners' release.

An SDF statement said hundreds of IS fighters and their families surrendered on Thursday.

Today SDF spokesman Mustafa Bali tweeted that a new group of IS fighters had surrendered.

Another SDF official said an IS suicide bomber apparently approaching to surrender blew himself up at the checkpoint where they search evacuees. The official refused to say if there were casualties.

Explosions were seen at the beginning of the week in the Syrian province of Deir Ezzor

The incident underscores how risky the operation is, and how it can be difficult for forces to tell civilians from combatants.

Some fighters have surrendered in recent weeks, but hardcore militants, including many foreigners, are still holed up in the shrinking space along the eastern bank of the Euphrates River.

SDF commanders have stopped speculating when the battle may finally be over. Already 25,000 people have left Baghouz, thousands more than were originally believed inside.

Commanders say they do not know how many more may be left, hiding in tunnels beneath the war-scarred village.

On Friday the situation was quiet as aircraft flew over the area controlled by IS.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
