March 22: US says ISIS finally defeated in Baghuz, small clashes continue

The US has asserted that ISIS is defeated and no longer holds ground in Syria.

Defense Department says Islamic State no longer holds any territory in Syria – White House spokeswoman.

Planes still flying over Baghouz. Airstrikes within the last hour. Machine gun fire in the distance. Is #ISIS totally defeated? Essentially yes, but there are still “hundreds” of holdouts per SDF. That’s what were seeing here in eastern #Syria.
