U.S. Bombs New ISIS Targets in Syria and Iraq
U.S.-led coalition forces launched more airstrikes against ISIS forces in Syria and Iraq late Tuesday and early Wednesday morning, according to CNN. Four targets were reportedly struck in Iraq, and two were hit in Syria.
In Syria, there was one strike by a U.S. aircraft and another by a coalition plane on an ISIS staging area near the Iraqi border, northwest of Al Qa'im, damaging eight ISIS vehicles.
In Iraq, two airstrikes west of Baghdad destroyed two ISIS armed vehicles and a weapons cache. Two airstrikes southeast of the city of Irbil destroyed an ISIS fighting position.
Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby confirmed the strikes in Syria, saying the U.S. bombed an area along the Iraqi-Syrian border used by ISIS to transfer weapons and other equipment into Iraq.
The latest airstrikes follow similar attacks launched on Monday and Tuesday.
