A representative of the US-led coalition, whose forces have been fighting for the city since June, told Reuters about this.
"We expect heavy fighting in the coming days and have not set a timeline for the complete defeat of ISIS in Raqqa," Ryan Dillon said.
In the area of the city of Raqqa, about 100 militants of the terrorist organization "Islamic State" (IS, banned in Russia) surrendered over the past 24 hours, Ryan Dillon also reported. “The militants who surrendered were taken out of the city. We still expect difficult fighting in the coming days and will continue to support our Syrian opposition partners in their fight against ISIS,” Dillon was quoted as saying by The New York Times.

The United States is bombing residential areas in Raqqa and destroying water supplies. This was announced on Saturday by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Major General Igor Konashenkov, TASS reports.
“The carpet bombing of residential areas with people and the deliberate destruction of all natural sources of water supply in Raqqa, used by the United States and the coalition, have so far brought nothing but thousands of victims of the “liberated” population and vivid examples of illiterate planning of this military operation,” he said.
Konashenkov noted that such actions contrast sharply with the successful offensive of Syrian government troops on Mayadin, which was liberated from ISIS militants today.
A statement from the Raqqa Tribal Council confirms agreements with the SDF on the withdrawal of Syrian IS fighters from Raqqa:
We, the elders of the tribes of Raqqa, declare that we want to end the bloodshed and end the tragedy of our people, after they were deceived by terrorists and hypocrites, and only a few of them still remain trapped in one or more points of the city, they do not have nothing but surrender or choosing death. We appealed to the Syrian Democratic Forces with a request to resolve the situation inside the city for local fighters and provide them with access to areas outside the city with our guarantees, and the Syrian Democratic Forces agreed with the content of this call.
We are now organizing a mechanism to remove these deceived people, to preserve the lives of the civilians they have taken as human shields and to protect the rest of the city from death and destruction.
Therefore, we declare to the public that we, as the elders of the Al-Raqqa clans, will ensure the lives of those who will be removed.
We hope that we will move on to other areas with steps to ensure security and peace in our country and clean up the abomination of terrorism and injustice, and live like others in our heroic city that fought terrorism on behalf of peace.
We reiterate our gratitude to the Syrian democratic forces who responded positively to our call, understood the nature of our tribal society and demonstrated their understanding for the lives of defenseless civilians.
Death to terrorism and victory to our peoples.
Sheikhs and dignitaries of the tribes of Raqqa 10/14/2017
According to human rights activists, all Syrian militants of the terrorist organization “Islamic State” (IS) have already left Raqqa. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on the morning of Saturday, October 14, that the last group of jihadists left the city last night.
Militants and their families during last days were taken out of Raqqa according to an agreement reached between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Islamists. It is not noted where exactly they were sent.
Now measures are being taken to remove foreign members of the Islamic State from the city who still remain in Raqqa. Their exact number is still unclear.
Only foreign mercenaries of the “Caliphate” remain in the city. The decision not to let foreigners out of the city was made by the command of the international coalition led by the United States and communicated to the Kurdish leadership.
“The convoy of vehicles is scheduled to leave Raqqa on October 14 as part of an agreement reached on October 12 through the mediation of the Raqqa Civil Council and local Arab tribal elders. This agreement, designed to minimize civilian casualties, does not, according to its text, include foreign IS fighters,” the coalition said in a statement. People who leave the city will then be searched by members of the Syrian Democratic Forces.
Despite the fact that the coalition itself did not participate in the process of agreeing on the agreement, the operation headquarters is convinced that it will allow “the SDF and the coalition to concentrate their attention on defeating the Islamic State in Raqqa.” “We do not support agreements that would allow terrorists to escape justice and then reappear somewhere else,” said Brigadier General Jonathan Braga, chief of coalition operations.
As Reuters reports, citing a representative of the Raqqa city council, the Kurdish forces leading the battles in the city allowed all militants of the Islamic State (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) to leave it. At the same time, the 400 hostages they held in the Raqqa National Hospital will be a guarantee of security for the militants.
There is no information yet about where the terrorists will go and where they will release the hostages.
In the city of Raqqa, the Nahdah district has been cleared of IS militants.

Despite the ceasefire, over the past 24 hours the number of attacks by Ukrainian militants has increased significantly, their intensity has increased, and mortars were used, which must be withdrawn from the contact line.
In the Donetsk direction, the enemy carried out small arms fire. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
In the Gorlovka direction, Ukrainian militants from positions in the area of n. In the village of Zhovanka, fire from small arms, including large-caliber ones, was carried out indiscriminate shelling of the village of Zaitsevo, thus covering the work of the sniper pair.
Sniper shooting at both civilians and military personnel of the DPR Armed Forces are those cynical methods of war that the Ukrainian side uses to achieve its “great” victories.
However, apart from contempt for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this does not cause anything else among the residents of Donbass.
In the Mariupol direction, the areas of the settlements Leninskoye, Dzerzhinskoye, Sakhanka came under fire, at which the enemy fired 33 mines of 120 and 82 mm caliber, and different kinds grenade launchers and small arms.

In addition, today a Lithuanian delegation arrived at the ATO headquarters, which included employees of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and journalists from Lithuania.
The increase in the number of ceasefire violations, as well as the intensification of snipers near the contact line, are provocative in nature.
The purpose of these actions is to force our Armed Forces to return fire and, through controlled and interacting media, to present these facts to the world community as “evidence” that the Donetsk People’s Republic is allegedly unilaterally violating its obligations.

The Turkish Armed Forces have begun operations in Syrian Idlib.
“On October 8, the Turkish armed forces began reconnaissance work to establish observation posts as part of an operation to be carried out in Idlib province,” the statement said.
This step is in line with the rules of engagement agreed upon as part of the Astana process.
The United States supports Turkey's efforts to combat terrorism, as well as steps to protect state borders. This was stated by a representative of the American defense department, Eric Pahon, commenting on Ankara’s decision to launch a military operation in the Syrian province of Idlib, Russian Dialogue reports.
A Pentagon representative noted that the north-west of the Syrian Arab Republic has become a stronghold for al-Qaeda terrorists (banned in the Russian Federation), whose actions pose a danger to the entire region.
The American side emphasized that it does not intend to change its position regarding the Jabhat al-Nusra group (banned in the Russian Federation) - Washington considers the organization the Syrian wing of al-Qaeda and recognizes it as terrorist.
The Syrian army again accuses the United States of supplying weapons to terrorists, RIA Novosti reports. As the head of the main operational department of the Syrian army, General Ali Al-Ali, said during a demonstration of weapons seized from militants, between June 5 and September 15, Washington delivered 1,421 trucks with military equipment and weapons to the militants.
Demonstrating weapons seized from militants, Al-Ali said that they were intended to fight terrorists, but eventually fell into the hands of IS militants and Jabhat al-Nusra (terrorist organizations banned in Russia).
According to the general, radicals in Syria are getting weapons that are purchased by the American defense companies Chemring and Orbital ATK under the Pentagon’s state program to assist US allies.
As Al-Ali explained, these weapons are delivered to the Middle East by sea. It enters Syria through sections of the border that the Syrian army does not control.
Ali Al-Ali also noted that in Eastern Ghouta and in the eastern neighborhoods of Damascus there is irrefutable evidence that terrorists are using foreign weapons and ammunition.
The general emphasized that fragments of foreign-made ammunition with serial numbers were found. Militants regularly fire at residential areas of Damascus and its suburbs with this ammunition.
It is noted that during demining of the Sakhur-2 quarter in the eastern regions of Aleppo, the military discovered and neutralized 193 ammunition, including grenades for the M203 grenade launcher and 60-mm mines made in the United States.
The Syrian military has repeatedly stated that some of the weapons that the United States transfers to the opposition end up in the hands of militants. The Syrian Foreign Ministry said in August that toxic substances found in warehouses abandoned by militants were delivered to terrorists from the United States and Great Britain.
Investigation: how did the international coalition provide weapons to terrorists in Syria?
The Pentagon denied information that the United States supplies weapons to militants of the Islamic State (IS, an organization banned in the Russian Federation) and other radical groups, and not to the so-called moderate opposition. The statement of the Syrian Ministry of Defense to a TASS correspondent was commented on by the official representative of the American defense department, Eric Pahon.
“Without a doubt, these statements are ridiculous and untrue,” he said.
Pahon argues that such information “represents a propaganda campaign by Russia and the regime to discredit the United States and the coalition’s successful fight against ISIS in Syria.” According to a representative of the Ministry of Defense, the US Armed Forces “carry out their missions in Syria on the basis of the fight against terrorism.” “They will continue to advise and assist partners as long as IS” remains a threat, Pahon concluded.
“The video shows Roman Zabolotny trying to have a conversation with the militant, saying that he has information about weapons. Grigory Turcanu sits with his back to the cabin, blindfolded. Roman also says that they went to headquarters with information, they were not in Deir ez-Zor,” the Conflict Intelligence Team notes.
As part of the implementation of the Memorandum on the creation of de-escalation zones in the Syrian Arab Republic, control groups continued to monitor compliance with the ceasefire.
