US-led Coalition intensify its airstrikes against ISIL

 

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) While the training mission is ongoing, the U.S. military continues to conduct airstrikes at an appropriate pace and with an appropriate sense of precision and urgency, Pentagon Press Secretary Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby said today.“It’s twofold,” he said. “It’s to go after them where we know we can and we should, but also to support Iraqi security forces on the ground.”Kirby mentioned a “big spike” in airstrikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant over the last week.“That was to help prepare the Peshmirga for the operations that they conducted around Mount Sinjar, which, while they’re still ongoing, have proven to be promising, so far,” he said.“It’s not just a matter of more or less,” the admiral added. “It’s got to be appropriate to the threat and to the operations on the ground.” /End/
