Airstrikes Destroy ISIL’s Captured Tanks
From a Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve News Release
ISIL seized the tanks and other military hardware from Tiyas Military Airfield near Palmyra, Syria, between Dec. 11-13.
“The [Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve] commanding general, [Army] Lt. Gen. Stephen J. Townsend, made it clear during his Dec.14th press conference that we would strike the equipment before it posed a threat to counter-ISIL operations,” said Air Force Col. John Dorrian, the CJTF-OIR spokesperson. “We will not allow ISIL to maintain capabilities that threaten Coalition or partner forces.”
