The Iraqi air force carried out on Monday air strikes against an ISIS position in Syria, said Iraqi television according to an army statement. It said that F-16 jets targeted a command and logistic headquarters of the terrorist ISIS group inside Syrian territory. The facility was completely destroyed, said the military. The Iraqi air force has already carried out several air strikes against ISIS in Syria since last year. Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi last month said he would "take all necessary measures if they threaten the security of Iraq," referring to the militants who just three years ago overran a third of Iraq. The prime minister declared final victory over the group in December but it still poses a threat from pockets along the border with Syria and has continued to carry out ambushes, assassinations and bombings across Iraq.
