"Over 20 ISIL Fighters" Killed as U.S. & Allies Invade Syrian Air Space, Bomb ISIL Troops, Positions... Damascus "Notified"
The United States has said it and its allies have begun bombing positions held by ISIL in Syria, the first such attacks since forming a coalition to confront the group.
The attacks began at about 00.30 GMT on Tuesday, with the first wave of about 20 strikejs taking about 90 minutes. Other waves were expected in the coming hours.
“I can confirm that US military and partner nation forces are undertaking military action against ISIL terrorists in Syria using a mix of fighter, bomber and Tomahawk land attack missiles,” a spokesman for the department of defence said.
“The decision to conduct theses strikes was made earlier today by the US central command commander under authorisation granted him by the commander in chief. We will provide more details later as operationally appropriate.”
The US did not confirm what was targeted, but reports on social media stated that areas of Raqqa – the ISIL stronghold in Syria – were hit.
Tens of ISIL fighters were killed or wounded in the strikes on Raqqa and surrounding areas, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which gathers information from a network of activists on the ground.
“More than 20 members of ISIL were killed in strikes on two of the organisation’s positions in Raqqa province. The strikes completely destroyed the two positions as well as vehicles stationed there,” the monitoring group said.
