Is the end of ISIS near?

British intelligence reports a 44 percent loss of ISIS forces

British troops are helping the Kurdish forces in Iraq and are confident ISIS will fall.

MUNTINLUPA CITY, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - British soldiers have been in Iraq since the end of 2014 and have been training Kurdish peshmerga forces. 
A Special Forces Colonel told The Sun, "The reality is that there is a fragility ... They (ISIS) are fragile and in a poor position and the day is coming when the house of cards will fall." His statement arrived following a significant attack to ISIS' land and militant fighters.

One Kurdish fighter admitted he had "no clue" prior to his training with the British soldiers. He said he is now prepared to fight for his homeland.
British officer Brigadier James Learmont added, "The tide of the battle is turning against IS. That aura of invincibility is not there now." He continued, explaining people in the region saw ISIS was not invincible and "it's just a question of time."
According to intelligence reports, ISIS has lost 8,000 members of its 18,000-strong regiment. ISIS has been weakened due to continued attacks from the UK special forces as well as air strikes.
As of Wednesday, 330 jihadists were killed within the first 11 months of UK airstrikes. 

Defense Secretary Michael Fallon said, "This figure is highly approximate, not least given the absence of UK ground troops in a position to observe the effects of strike activity ... We do not believe there have been any civilian casualties as a result of strike activity."
The Jihadist terrorist group initially rose to fame last year after they managed to take over the city of Mosul in Iraq. 
They earned their notorious position after featuring several gruesome videos of Western hostages being beheaded and tortured to death. The group continues to invade other cities, recently including the ancient Roman city of Palmyra.
