Militants with the Daesh terrorist group, besieged by the Kurdish SDF in their last stronghold of Baghuz, Syria, have called on their supporters from all across the world to stage attacks in their defence, AP reported, citing an audio recording allegedly released by the terrorists.
Earlier in the day, the US-supported Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said that it had
eliminated almost 40 members of the Daesh* terrorist organisation in the southeastern Syrian village of Baghuz but
lost three militias during the ensuing clashes."Battles continue on several fronts, the [SDF] command confirmed that 38 IS [Daesh] militants were eliminated... The terrorists conducted two rocket attacks. We have 10 injured people and three killed", Mustafa Bali, the head of the SDF press service, wrote on Twitter.
He also said that
the US-led coalition, an SDF ally, had carried out 20 airstrikes on Baghuz, destroying Daesh arms depots, cars and a command centre.
Later in the day, Reuters reported, citing head of the SDF media office Mustafa Bali, that a large group of jihadists left the last Daesh enclave in the country and surrendered to the SDF Forces.
"Once our forces confirm that everyone who wants to surrender has done so,... the clashes will resume," he said, noting that the defeat of the terrorists is "very close".
The SDF announced on Sunday that it would resume operations against terrorists in Baghuz, which remains the last Daesh stronghold in Syria following the evacuation of civilians.
The Kurdish forces declared the final stage of its operation aimed at liberating Baghuz on February 9. Around 15,000 people have left the village since then and only militants remain, according to Bali.
Shortly before that,
the SDF said it had captured more than 800 foreign Daesh fighters and 2,000 of their wives and children.

Jihadi Brides Yell Daesh Slogans Amid Battle for Last Stronghold in Syria
As the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) continue its offensive on the Syrian city of Baghouz, one of Daesh's last bastions in the country, more jihadi brides with kids are reportedly being transported to refugee camps.
A video allegedly showing Daesh brides still loyal to the self-proclaimed caliphate yelling abusive words and saluting the terror group has emerged on the internet.
The clip shows several women dressed from head to toe in black, sitting with their children, in a truck taking them to a refugee camp from the Syrian city of Baghouz, the last stronghold of the terror group.
The women are heard shouting "baqiya", presumably from Daesh's slogan "baqiya wa tatamaddad", which is translated as "remaining and expanding", verbally abusing journalists and throwing water and bottles at the camera filming them.
Over the weekend, the Daily Mail reported that foreign jihadi brides had been isolated from other female refugees in the al-Hol camp in northeast Syria, since they tried to assault the "infidels" for not abiding by the laws of the self-proclaimed caliphate.
Whereas other video shows that some - hailing from as far afield as Brazil, Canada, Germany, Trinidad, France, Russia - are now eager to return 'home' because life in the refugee camps wasn't comfortable; they couldn't even 'access google' on their phones:
