The operation to liberate Raqqa under the lead of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), People's Defense Units (YPG) and the Women's Defense Units (YPJ) continues at full force since the launch of the campaign on June 6.

In Raqqa's city centre, where severe clashes are taking place, many civilians are trapped. In order to save these civilians, fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces are engaged in heavy fights.

SDF fighters are rescuing dozens of civilians every day from the clutches of the gangs and are tied up in a real struggle to get the civilians safe and sound out of harms way.

The ISIS gangs are trying to use those civilians as human shields, but yet they are still not able to stymie the operations of the SDF to save the civilians. The SDF forces are conducting all their operations highly organized and use clever tactics and approaches.

Dozens more civilians from various neighbourhoods of Raqqa have managed to reach the SDF fighters in Nazlat Shihade neighbourhood south of the city on Thursday.

SDF fighters have transferred the civilians to safe areas under their control.
