U.S. forces just caught scores of Islamic terrorists in the open — and they brought the pain.
U.S.-led airstrikes targeted Islamic State convoys
in Iraq late Tuesday night into Wednesday, killing at least 250 ISIS
fighters and destroying over hundreds of enemy vehicles, a U.S. military
spokesman told Fox News.
As Iraqi ground forces were fighting ISIS
militants in an area southwest of Fallujah, where there is known ISIS
influence, the first convoy was spotted leaving the city, Col.
Christopher Garver said.
U.S. airstrikes demolished approximately 55 vehicles in that convoy.
A second convoy was later seen east of Ramadi
later on Wednesday, when the U.S. coalition and Iraqi jets attacked with
more airstrikes, annihilating approximately 120 more ISIS vehicles.
The successful airstrikes were some of the most
devastating since the U.S.-led coalition began operations in the
country, and came just one day after the ISIS suicide bombings at
Istanbul’s Airport that killed more than 40 people.
The U.S.-led coalition has been carrying out
airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria since 2014 and 300 U.S.
Special Forces are embedded with a Kurdish-led militia in northern
Syria.
