BAGHOUZ, Syria—A convoy of trucks carrying hundreds of civilians, including men, women, and children, left the last enclave held by ISIS militants in eastern Syria on Feb. 20, signaling a possible end to a standoff that has lasted for more than a week.
An Associated Press team in Baghouz, a village near the Iraqi border where the ISIS group is making its final stand, counted at least 17 trucks that emerged through a humanitarian corridor used in past weeks to evacuate people from the militants’ last patch of territory along the Euphrates River.
