Rodi Said
BAGHOUZ, Syria (Reuters) - Islamic State faced imminent defeat in its final enclave on Tuesday as hundreds of jihadist fighters and their families surrendered and the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces said the battle was as good as over.

A Reuters journalist in Baghouz saw hundreds of people surrendering to the SDF, which launched its final attack to capture Baghouz on Sunday, backed by U.S.-led international coalition air strikes after weeks of siege.
The enclave is the last shred of territory held by the jihadists who have been driven from roughly one third of Iraq and Syria over the past four years.

It's called "hudna". Ancient islamic tactic.

Agreed, and I proposed that here in this forum some time ago.
"No surrender" for isis soldiers.
Once you join them, as far as The West is concerned, you've signed your own death warrant.
One isis member -- one bullet.

How many "last enclaves" have there been, now?
