Syrian Democratic Forces are indeed, the guys we are backing and it sounds like some serious fighting going on. So, I hope they can hold up. At a cost, it sounds like they do have the better of it.
This is the Monitor, Syrian Human Rights Observatory that many news outlets quote. I don't think this is a native English speaker who wrotes these articles. It's not easy to read who they are saying got killed; etc.
