Street battle in al-Diriyah neighborhood of Raqqa

YPG-led Syrian Democratic Forces are progressing on the eastern and western fronts of the Raqqa city.

After breaking ISIS' first line of defense in the outskirts west of Raqqa, SDF fighters have broken ISIS' second line of defense by taking control of the al-Qadisiya neighborhood southwest of the city three days ago.

Amid heavy clashes ongoing for two days, SDF forces are now advancing into the neighborhood of al-Diriyah. ISIS gangs are trying to stop the SDF advance through snipers and mines they have laid in several locations across the neighborhood.

YPG Press Office released footage from recent clashes in al-Diriyah neighborhood.
