| US-backed Syrian forces said on Thursday they were closing in on Islamic State-held Raqqa and expected to reach the city outskirts in a few weeks, as the US-led coalition said a Marines artillery unit had deployed to help the campaign.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a militia alliance including the Kurdish YPG, is the main US partner in the war against Islamic State in Syria. Since November it has been working with the coalition to encircle Raqqa.
