2014-09-24 |
The UAE Air Force launched its first strikes against ISIS targets on Monday evening, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed on Tuesday. "The operation was conducted in coordination with other forces participating in the international effort against the ISIS," the ministry said in a statement. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Jordan also confirmed they sent planes to attack terrorist sites. " Jordan said "We took part in the strikes which are part of our efforts to defeat terrorism in its strongholds," said government spokesman Mohammed Al Momani. Jordan’s military said its planes had destroyed an unspecified number of targets close to its borders with Syria and Iraq linked to ‘terrorist groups’ who have “committed attacks of sabotage” on its soil. It said all the planes had returned to base safely afterwards. |
