US-backed rebels enter Deir al-Zor province for first time - Kurdish military source

BEIRUT, Feb 21 (Reuters) The US-backed Syria Democratic Forces (SDF) alliance has crossed into Deir al-Zor province for the first time as part of an offensive against Islamic State, a Kurdish military source said today.
The advance into the province, which is almost entirely under the ultra-hardline group's control, is part of an operation to encircle and ultimately capture its de facto Syrian capital of Raqqa in the north of the country.
One aim of the campaign is to cut IS's supply lines from Raqqa to Deir al-Zor province.
