<p>The Coalition are providing air support to Syrian Democratic Forces who began operations
to isolate Daesh's stronghold in Raqqah on 5 November 2016. Since then, Syrian Democratic
Forces have made considerable progress and are now less than ten kilometres from the
outskirts of the city, increasingly constraining Daesh's freedom of manoeuvre. It
will continue to be a long and difficult fight but Daesh have already lost some 30%
of the territory they once controlled in Syria and our strategy to take the fight
to Daesh in both Syria and Iraq is working.</p>
