US-Backed Forces Cut Key Supply Route to IS-Held Raqa

US-backed forces in Syria have cut a key supply route between the Islamic State group's stronghold Raqa and their territory in Deir Ezzor province, a monitoring group said on Monday.

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), an alliance of Kurdish and Arab fighters, cut off the route with air support from the US-led anti-IS coalition, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
