Clashes are ongoing between the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the area of Hajin in the Euphrates Valley. Over the past few days, the SDF has slowed down its advance in the area and it seems that ISIS has stabilized the frontline in the town at least partly.
The ISIS-linked news angency Amaq reported that the US-led coalition carried out at least 230 airstrikes on positions in the area in the period from December 1 to December 10.
If the situation develops in this direction and the SDF is not going to contribute additional efforts, ISIS may remain in control of the Hajin pocket for another month or even few.
