US will remain long after Isis defeated

SYRIAN troops drove Isis further back across the country yesterday — after Kurdish forces insisted that the US military will remain in northern Syria long after the jihadis are defeated.

Army troops backed by Palestinian and other volunteer militia pushed Isis fighters from the town of Uqrayribat in the terrorists’s stronghold of eastern Hama yesterday, according to reports by al-Masdar News.

Troops and Hezbollah guerillas also took areas from Isis near the Lebanese border.
