| [Rudaw] The United States-led coalition carried out 12 airstrikes targeted at ISIS, including one in Syria and 11 in Iraq, the US Central Command said in a press release Friday “In Syria, coalition military forces conducted one strike using fighter aircraft,” the release said. “Separately in Iraq, coalition military forces conducted 11 strikes coordinated with and in support of the government of Iraq using bomber, fighter, and attack aircraft against ISIL [Islamic State] targets.” The airstrikes were launched on Thursday near five Iraqi cities to the north and west of Baghdad, including Ramadi and Mosul. The strikes hit multiple ISIS assembly areas, weaponry bases and fighting positions, as well as other targets. An airstrike near the Syrian city of Mara, carried out on Thursday, targeting three ISIS military vehicles, said US Central Command. In other military developments against ISIS on the ground in Iraq and Syria, the White House is reportedly expected to announce the deployment of a small unit of US Special Forces in northern Syria, several US media agencies reported Friday.
The force is expected to assist the Peoples’ Defense Units (YPG) and its allies in Rojava, or Syrian Kurdistan. | |
