New York Times: Six months before the US military to eliminate the hinder east of Syria

Friday, June 1,

said , "New York Times" newspaper of America, that the mission against the organization Daesh increased strength by the return of senior Kurdish leaders and increase the French special forces, and the arrival of naval fighters and the work of the Iraqi secret investigations. 

US Secretary of Defense James Matisse and top US commanders have at least six months to crack down on an impasse in eastern Syria, the Times reported .

But the six-month hunt for a few hundred fighters could be insufficient to get rid of the rapidly moving threat. 

The role of Kurdish and Arab allies in eastern Syria has been very effective in the USbattle against Da'ash, but last week's Turkish attacks in northwestern Syria pushed Kurdish fighters out of the US-led offensive near the Iraqi border. 

She noted that the absence of troops allowed the escape of many armed militants calling, and the restoration of land they had lost as well as the attacks of gangs of hideouts across the country. 

Seth Jones, director of the Transnational Threats Project at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said Da'id's organization had turned into guerrilla operations, increasing the likelihood that he would continue to operate in eastern Syria and western Iraq for years.

Since the fall of al-Raqqa, the capital, taken by the organization at the end of last year, allied aircraft have relied mainly on Syrian Kurds to kill other terrorists who have pushed them out of their hideouts and fortified positions, and have provided these targets to allied fighters. 

Syria's Kurdish-led democratic forces were the mainstay in bringing out a rake of al-Raqqa and chasing fugitives from the south along the Euphrates River to the Iraqi border. Without them, the Syrian Arabs would have suffered the containment of a few hundred remaining fighters who were present in two major foci, The United States.

The confrontation began to change after Syria's demilitarized forces launched a new ground battle on May 1, military officials said. Syrian allied forces, backed by the US-led air force, cleared the area near the Iraqi-Syrian border as terrorists of a sympathetic organization. 

US warplanes attacked caches and command centers, killing agents, destroying buildings and equipment and disrupting supply routes, officials said. 

Sherko Haski, the senior Kurdish commander in charge of the ground operation, said Dahedash's organization was using civilians as human shields to prevent them from leaving, making it difficult to demand coalition air raids. 

Don Bacon, a retired general serving in the US Air Force in Iraq, said Dahed's organization was still a threat, as they could reorganize themselves at any time.
