Turkish-backed rebels who have been advancing against the Islamic State-held al-Bab reached the outskirts of the town on February 8.

Among the buildings the Turkish-aligned forces said they had captured were a hospital and accommodation complex on the western side of the town.

Video here shows opposition fighters at several locations identifiable as being on the western outskirts of al-Bab. The locations put these fighters in close proximity to Syrian regime forces who are also advancing on al-Bab. Credit: YouTube/SMART News via Storyful
