Victory signs are flashed, a man's beard is cut, a woman smokes a cigarette, another sets fire to a niqab, and civilians embrace soldiers in celebration after being evacuated by the Syria Democratic Forces (SDF) from an Islamic State-controlled neighborhood of Manbij, in Aleppo Governorate, Syria. The SDF has said Islamic State was using civilians as human shields. (Reuters/Yahoo News)
