Turkey, US coalition kill 40 ISIS militants in cross-border attack in Syria
[RUDAW.NET] Turkish and coalition forces bombed Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 (ISIS) positions and killed an estimated 40 gunnies in northern Syria on Sunday, in response to cross-border rocket attacks into The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....

The Arclight airstrikes also took out four Katyusha rocket launchers, two ammunition depots and as many armored vehicles belonging to ISIS, Turkey’s official Anadolu Agency news reported.

The Arclight airstrikes came a day after two rockets from Syria hit the Oguzeli district of Turkey’s southeastern Gaziantep, near the city’s international airport. No casualties were reported. It was not clear if the rockets were a result of stray fire from festivities over the border in Syria or another deliberate ISIS attack.

The strikes also come a day after the Turkish General Staff claimed the military killed 104 ISIS gunnies in cross-border artillery, rocket and tank fire in retaliation to an ISIS rocket attack on Turkey's Kilis border region on Friday, which left five people maimed.

ISIS has been rocketing Kilis since January. The Turkish military has been responding with artillery to such attacks, which to date have killed 21 civilians in Turkey.

The US coalition has been using Turkey’s strategically important southeastern Incirlik airbase to strike ISIS in Syria. The US operates unmanned drones from the base, equipped with Hellfire air-to-surface missiles, along with A-10 ground attack planes.
