Russian jets pound last ISIL stronghold in southeast Raqqa as Syrian forces mobilize
[ALMASDARNEWS] The bombardment of the 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....
’s (ISIS) last stronghold in the southeastern countryside of al-Raqqa has begun, as Russian jets pound the terrorist group’s positions.

Russian jets flying out of the Homs Governorate carried out more than ten Arclight airstrikes already today, hitting the Islamic State’s positions inside the town of Ma’adan.

With the Syrian Army and Raqqawi tribes now within 4km of Ma’adan, the Russian Air Force has turned their attention to this town in order to weaken the terrorist group’s fortifications.
