US airstrikes kill at least 250 ISIS fighters in convoy outside Fallujah, official says
Published June 29, 2016 FoxNews.com

A series of American airstrikes killed at least 250 ISIS fighters driving in a convoy outside Fallujah on Wednesday, a senior U.S. defense official confirmed to Fox News.

The strikes occurred on the outskirts of the Iraqi city in "southern Fallujah," a second U.S. defense official told Fox News.

"There was a strike on a convoy of ISIS fighters trying to leave a neighborhood on the outskirts of southern Fallujah that we struck," the official said.

At least 40 vehicles were destroyed in the airstrikes, a U.S. official told Reuters, which was first to report the air assault.

The U.S. airstrikes come roughly 24 hours after the triple suicide bombing at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport that killed at least 42 people where ISIS is considered the prime suspect, according to top U.S. officials.

Iraq Says Strikes Destroy 260 IS Vehicles Fleeing Fallujah

Air strikes on Islamic State group fighters fleeing after their defeat in Fallujah have destroyed more than 260 vehicles and killed at least 150 jihadists, Iraqi officers said on Thursday.

The strikes began late on Tuesday as hundreds of vehicles carrying weapons and ammunition attempted to leave the jihadists' last positions to the west of the city, the Joint Operations Command said.

"Our heroes in the military aviation destroyed more than 200 vehicles," JOC spokesman Yahya Rasool said.

He said commandos had also seized large quantities of weapons and ammunition.
