Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) spokesman Mustafa Bali claimed by Tuesday evening the number of ISIS members who had laid down arms had “risen to 3,000.”
Bali added that three Yazidi women and four children had been rescued as well.
It comes amid a heavy fighting in the Syrian town of Baghouz, the last bit of territory in Syria and Iraq claimed by the Islamic State.

A CNN team in Syria witnessed intense shelling of the town throughout Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, but so far the SDF have resisted providing details as to how they expect the remaining ISIS fighter to hold out.
In a statement on Twitter Tuesday, Bali said the “decisive moment is closer than ever before.”
He claimed the ISIS fighters in the city were “surrendering en masse.”
