Fighters of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are continuing an operation to liberate Raqqa for the 93rd day.

The fighters of the SDF took control of the Baghdad Gate in Raqqa's old city. With closing the Baghdad Gate, the SDF has taken now control over the entire historic wall. Now the SDF has total control over the gateway of the ISIS gangs in Raqqa city.

The Baghdad Gate, which is fortified with iron, was restored by the Syrian regime in the 1980s. It is about 30 meters high. In addition to that having now the Baghdad Gate in their hands, the road leading to Raqqa's old city has been brought under SDF control as well.
