The Iraqi Air Force reported two separate airstrikes against targets inside eastern Syria on Tuesday, hitting two different buildings. This is the latest in a series of Iraqi strikes against ISIS territory on the border.
The larger of the two buildings was described as having 30 ISIS fighters in it, who were described as having an “important meeting for their criminal leadership” at the time. The other building had 14 suicide bombers, according to the statement.
Conspicuously absent from these reports, however, were any casualty figures. The Iraqi planes bombed two buildings with 44 ISIS people inside of them, and the end results are still unclear.
The US has also been bombing towns in this area, trying to support a Kurdish offensive. Likely telegraphing more civilian casualties to come, the coalition announced on Monday that they now consider the main hospital in the town of Hajin a legitimate military target, on the grounds that ISIS “has no regard for human life,” and that therefore the US is free and clear to deliberately attack the hospital full of civilians.
Of course, a very clean hit would have buried the bodies.
The locals are possibly in no hurry to dig them out. Any IS comrades in arms not at the meeting are probably too busy celebrating their promotions to dig.
There are two sets of US supported, nurtured and armed cutthroat proxies which US uses as a (illegal) fig leaf to occupy all the Syrian territories east of the Euphrates in this area, one to the North East bordering Iraq and one further south, east of the Euphrates on the opposite side of Deir Ezzor.
Obviously, when US “bomb” these Saudi Barbarian funded terrorists US uses for attacking Syria, it all for show, way out in the desert far away from said target.
But when Iraq REALLY take out these vermin occasionally, otherwise out of reach of Syrian authorities, it’s with the consent of and coordinated with Syria and the joint Russian, Iranian and Syrian command centre in Bagdad, which is why they can’t do it as much as needed because of they do, the Pentagram and CIA will sure as h*’ll flood Iraq with ISIS and al Qaeda again.
I wonder why the U.S. has so much trouble finding and killing ISIS members. We piddled around with them for a year and a half without making much headway. The Russians came in and in 5 weeks destroyed their oil convoys and pretty much put an end to the idea of an ISIS Caliphate. Does anyone actually believe that the USA is fighting ISIS or that the War on Terror is anything but bogus?
