'We will go wherever they hide': Rooting out IS in Somalia A figure appears in the picture, moving through a valley. He has been to fetch water for his friends, says the drone operator. He is running and carrying something on his back, adds another soldier. The man on the screen is near a cave, which the army believes is a hideout for 50 to 60 IS fighters.
