Syrian fighters, backed by artillery fire from the US-led coalition, fought a fierce jihadist counteroffensive as they pushed to retake the last speck of territory Daesh in an assault that lasted days. More than four years after the extremists declared a "caliphate" across large parts of Syria and neighbouring Iraq, several offensives have whittled it down to a tiny scrap of land in eastern Syria.
