Fighters of the Wrath of Euphrates Initiative stated that ISIS gangs have been unable to resist them and flee their positions when YPG and SDF forces approach. Below are the statements of some SDF fighters:

Harun Dino: Our liberation initiative continues. Morale of all of our friends is high. We have not suffered any casualties yet. ISIS gangs will be defeated because they are unable to resist us. We see them flee their positions. They cannot resist YPG and SDF fighters. Every village we go, we see that gangs flee.

Nujiyan Kobane: We started the initiative from Siluk. Our goal is to liberate Raqqa from ISIS gangs. We want to free our people from the cruelty of ISIS. The first phase of our initiative ended when our forces united in Xezine village. We hope to enable our people to live without fear.

Brusk Zagros: Our comrades are currently coming from the direction of Siluk. ISIS gangs are unable to fight against the YPG. They drop their guns and flee. ISIS gangs, broken in the face of freedom fighters, are bound to perish.
