Iraq Syria Air Strikes

The US military launched retaliatory air strikes against Iranian forces and Tehran-backed militia groups in both Iraq and Syria on Friday, following a drone attack that killed three American soldiers at a remote base in Jordan.

Turkey's defence ministry said on Sunday that 89 targets, including shelters and ammunition depots, were destroyed in air strikes on Kurdish militant bases in northern Iraq and northern Syria.

The United States on Monday strongly defended weekend strikes against Iran-aligned militias but the fighters vowed revenge and both Iraq and Syria condemned the unilateral US air strikes as violations of their sovereignty.

US strikes on eastern Syria near the border with Iraq killed at least five Iran-backed militia fighters, a war monitor reported on Monday.

Israel signalled on Monday that it could attack suspected Iranian military assets in Iraq, as it has done with scores of air strikes in war-torn Syria

Iraq launched an air strike against an ISIS target inside neighbouring Syria on Thursday, the military said.

The ISIS once drew recruits from near and far with promises of paradise but now bodies of terrorists lie in mass graves or at the mercy of wild dogs as its "caliphate" collapses

On a pontoon bridge connecting East and West Mosul, residents of a city shattered by the battle to expel ISIS cross back and forth trying to rebuild their lives from the rubble.

The Iraqi air force struck members of the ISIS group inside neighbouring Syria on Friday, officials said, adding that the targeted militants were responsible for recent bombings in Baghdad.

ISIS terrorists have staged near simultaneous attacks on positions of state-sanctioned militias west and south of Iraq's northern city of Mosul, apparently taking advantage of bad weather conditions that normally disrupt air support, two militia officials said on Saturday.

The Pentagon said on Wednesday that US air strikes in Iraq and Syria against the ISIS group may have killed 119 civilians since 2014, a figure far lower than casualty estimates by monitoring groups.

Kurdish Peshmerga forces backed by US led coalition airstrikes launched a fresh attack on ISIS terrorist in northern Iraq in the early hours today, as part of a plan to close in on their De facto capital Mosul, a Kurdish official said.

Six US air strikes against al Qaeda and ISIS targets in Iraq and Syria killed 14 civilians and injured another between July 28 last year and April 29 this year, the US military said on Thursday.

Belgium will extend its F-16 air strikes against ISIS jihadists in Iraq into Syria, the government said today, as it grapples with the aftermath of deadly ISIS-claimed bomb attacks in Brussels in March.

The United States and its allies targeted ISIS in Iraq with 17 air strikes on Saturday, and hit the militant group with eight air strikes in Syria, the U.S. military said on Sunday.
