#Syria: SDF prepared one of the largest booby-traps ever documented in the war. Video filmed inside the tunnel dug under the M4 Highway (N. #Raqqa) shows a large section of it was prepared for detonation with dozens of IEDs. Alongside 100s of kilometers of tunnels uncovered, the footage highlights the scale of preparations made for years by SDF/YPG - most of these defenses were ultimately abandoned following the rapid collapse of mid-January.
