قال مسؤولن عسكريون أمريكيون إنهم رصدوا تقارير تفيد بأن تنظيم الدولة الإسلامية “داعش” قد أعلن حالة الطوارىء في الرقة خوفاً من أي هجوم محتمل على المدينة من قبل قوات التحالف الدولي.
وقد قال المتحدث باسم التحالف الدولي ضد داعش الكولونيل ستيف وارين:” لقد رأينا هذا الإعلان عن حالة الطوارئ في الرقة أيّاً كان ما يعنيه ذلك” ، كما أضاف في حديث لقناة CNN يوم الجمعة “نعلم أن هذا العدو يشعر بالتهديد ، وهذا هو المطلوب”.

Isis ‘declares state of emergency in Raqqa’ according to US military

US officials say they are monitoring reports the terrorist group fears its capital could be attacked

US military officials are monitoring reports that Isis have declared a state of emergency in Raqqa.

Social media and news reports that suggest Isis may have come under siege in its self-declared capital in Syria are being closely watched by the US-led anti-Isis coalition.

Col. Steve Warren, spokesman for the coalition said: “We have seen this declaration of emergency in Raqqa, whatever that means.”

Media reports have indicated that the terrorist group is moving personnel around the city and attempting to put up covers to shield potential targets from airstrikes and ground attacks.

“They see the Syrian Democratic Forces, along with the Syrian Arab Coalition, manoeuvre both to their east and to their west,” said Mr Warren. “Both of these areas becoming increasingly secure, and the Syrian Democratic Forces increasingly able to generate their own combat power in those areas.”
