Washington, Rabi'I 28, 1437, Jan 8, 2016, SPA -- The U.S.-led coalition launched 23 airstrikes against ISIS targets in Iraq and three in Syria on Thursday, the Combined Joint Task Force said. The military coalition said 22 airstrikes in Iraq were coordinated with the Baghdad government against ISIS targets, and one strike was against inoperable coalition equipment. Seven airstrikes targeted the Daesh ISIS of Mosul while six were in Ramadi, where Iraqi forces drove out most of the extremists last week after a difficult offensive, the taskforce said in a statement Friday. In Mosul, the airstrikes destroyed four ISIS tactical units, six fighting positions, four assembly areas, a bunker, and a tunnel. In Ramadi, they destroyed 16 fighting positions, 13 heavy machine guns, and 12 improvised explosive devices and denied militants access to terrain, the statement said. Other airstrikes in Iraq hit near Al Qaim, Sinjar, Haditha, Irbil, Kisik, Qayyarah, and Sultan Abdallah, the coalition said. In Syria, coalition airstrikes included two near Ayn Isa, where they destroyed three fighting positions and suppressed a third, and near Manbij, where a strike destroyed three staging areas, the taskforce said. --SPA 21:29 LOCAL TIME 18:29 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
