A woman has been filmed ripping off her black burqa after her home was liberated from ISIS, Kurdish forces have claimed.

It comes as soldiers fighting the Islamic terror group are on the brink of recapturing Raqqa - a major stronghold in Syria.

The clip was released by the People's Protection Units and shows the unknown woman hugging fighters before kissing the ground.

The overjoyed woman can also be seen ripping off the black burqa imposed on all women by the extremists before jumping for joy

Isis have held the city since 2014 during which time they imposed shariah law in the area.

The overjoyed woman can also be seen ripping off the black burqa imposed on all women by the extremists before jumping for joy.

Mustafa Bali of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said today that fierce street battles are ongoing near the main hospital in Raqqa, which was once the de facto capital of the extremists.

SDF fighters launched an operation to retake the last IS-held pocket of Raqqa after some 275 militants and their family members surrendered.

Activists said those who surrendered were taken to an SDF-run prison in the nearby town of Tabqa, where they are being interrogated before being put on trial.
