The Syrian Al-Watan newspaper, which is close to the government, on Monday dismissed a new assault on ISIS's Syrian stronghold of Raqqa as a "media" operation.
The daily said the fight, led by the Kurdish-Arab Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) was intended to "focus American public opinion on the 'war on terror' and show the seriousness of the current administration in the fight against the terrorist group Daesh (ISIS)."
Citing what it described as a "Western diplomatic source in Paris," the newspaper said the SDF lacked the capacity to fight ISIS "even if they were backed by Washington and Paris with all their power."
