U.S.-Backed Syria Force Says Time Up for IS 'to Surrender'
U.S.-backed forces said Sunday time was up for Islamic State group jihadists hunkering down in their eastern Syrian holdout and an assault was imminent.
"The timeline (we gave) ISIS to surrender themselves is over," Syrian Democratic Forces spokesman Mustefa Bali said on Twitter, using another acronym for IS.
"Our forces have received orders for military action to finish off what is left of the terrorists in Baghouz," he said.
