Daesh Fighters Refuse to Surrender Despite Being Surrounded by SDF - Reports
The US-supported Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced on 10 March that they would resume operations against the Daesh* militants in the village of Baghouz in south-eastern Syria.

The Kurdish-led SDF for several months, with aviation support from the international coalition led by the United States, have been fighting against the remnants of Daesh terrorists. Syrian media have repeatedly reported civilian casualties and the use of white phosphorus by the coalition in Baghouz airstrikes.

Syria and Iraq have become a foothold for the US-led coalition of more than 70 countries to conduct military operations against Daesh. The coalition's operations in Syria have not been authorised by the government of President Bashar al-Assad or the UN Security Council.

*Daesh (also known as ISIS/ISIL/IS) is a terrorist group banned in Russia
