" DAMASCUS http://www.stlouisbluesteamstore.com/adidas-tage-thompson-jersey , Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- The United States has sent large shipments of military gears to the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to help them in the battle against the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria's northern province of Raqqa, the SDF said Sunday.
The large quantities of weapons aim to help the SDF in their fight to completely clear Raqqa from IS, said the group.
On Thursday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor group said the SDF fighters were mopping up the last IS holdouts in Raqqa.
The Observatory, which says it relies on a network of activists on ground, said the IS had lost its main stronghold in Syria by losing Raqqa to the Kurdish-led SDF, adding that the remaining IS fighters are hiding in basements and underground shelters in the city center.
