The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that the forces from the operation codenamed "Euphrates Wrath" continue their assault, where they managed to advance toward the city. These festivities are coincided with shelling by the SDF and bombing by the International Coalition’ warplanes on the Islamic State-held areas, Syrian Observatory for Human Rights added.
