Last ISIS enclave a scene of ‘devastation:’ Fox News visits only remaining village ruled by terror group
By Benjamin Hall | Fox News

BAGHOUZ, Syria -- ISIS fighters are standing just 150 feet away and we are crouched on a rooftop in a building that hardly stands, obliterated by the offensive underway. The roof has caved in, just like every other building within miles. Mortar, artillery and machine gun fire have targeted them.

This is the final push against the terror group -- and it’s a devastating scene.

We can see a few terrorists scavenging, milling around closely. We can hear them. Sometimes they shout toward us – they’re driving motorbikes, digging for roots, and carrying AK47s and RPGs. Most of the fighters, however, are out of sight.

All depends on the rules of engagement.
