ISIS 'elite' forces battle with US-backed troops as the terror group loses control of two more villages and women and children flee the last remaining strip of their 'caliphate'
ISIS 'elite' militants are being cleared from two more villages today in the last remaining strip of the terror group's 'caliphate' amid fierce fighting with US-backed Syrian forces.
Fanatics have been hiding among the local population and detaining others attempting to flee with women and children escaping the area, the US-led coalition said today.
The coalition said the clearance operations of the remaining terrorists was taking place today in the villages of Shajalah and Baghouz, in eastern Syria near the border with Iraq.
Thousands of people have fled Baghouz as the fighting rages, including women and children but also suspected jihadists.
The SDF believes 400 to 600 jihadists may be holed up there, including foreigners and other hardened militants.

Scores of militants from ISIS - including many foreign fighters - surrendered to US-backed fighters known as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) last night.
The surrender brought the Kurdish-led force closer to taking full control of the last remaining area held by the extremists, a Kurdish official and activists said.

ISIS’s Last March: Truckloads of the final fighters and their jihadi brides – carrying designer knockoff bags – line up to leave terrorists’ last frontline after US-coalition airstrikes prompt their surrender
The final remnants of Islamic State have left the group's last pocket of territory in eastern Syria - as truckloads of fighters and their jihadi brides are seen being transported from the area.
The move came just hours after US-led coalition air strikes intended to pressure the militants targeted the area on the banks of the Euphrates River.
At least 36 trucks and two buses were seen leaving the area through a humanitarian corridor from the militants' last patch of territory in the remote village of Baghouz near the Iraqi border.
They were escorted by gun-mounted trucks belonging to the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
As the convoy passed, automatic machine gun fire could be heard in the distance and coalition aircraft flew overhead.
Some 300 IS militants, along with hundreds of civilians believed to be mostly their families, have been under siege for more than a week in the tent camp in Baghouz.
The Kurdish-led SDF surrounding the patch of land have been unable to carry out a final assault on it because of the presence of the civilians.
An SDF spokesman, Mustafa Bali, said there were coalition air strikes and intermittent clashes earlier on Friday with the militants, which were meant to pressure them into allowing the last civilians to leave.
The removal of IS fighters and civilians (pictured) would also allow US president Donald Trump to begin withdrawing American troops from northern Syria, as he has pledged to do, opening a new chapter in Syria's eight-year civil war

Some 2,000 people - mainly ISIS militants - have surrendered to US-backed forces closing in around their last enclave after the terror group complained they were being subjected to a 'holocaust.'
A purported IS audio recording online called for revenge across the globe as the last desperate fighters declared they were the victims at Baghouz, in eastern Syria.
The Syrian Democratic Forces made painstaking efforts to permit the surrender of thousands before finding no more were forthcoming as they resumed bombardments on Sunday.
Today SDF spokesman Adnan Afrin said the latest massive group were being transferred to neutral ground for screening.
The minute-and-a half recording, released by IS supporters on social media and reported by the SITE Intelligence Group late on Monday calls 'brothers, in Europe and in the whole world' to 'rise against the Crusaders and ... take revenge for your religion.'
Thousands of women and children have been carted north to a holding camp at al-Hol away from the brutal siege, in a humanitarian effort which has lasted for weeks.
