Air Operations Against ISIS Rise as Group Lingers
8/15/2019
​—Brian Everstine
US and coalition air strikes against ISIS nearly tripled between May and June as the group lingers in Iraq and Syria and ramps up activity in the region, according to the latest figures from Air Forces Central Command.
Blue forces conducted 135 strikes in June before falling to 105 strikes in July—both notable spikes over May’s total of 54 strikes, the least of the campaign so far. As of July 31, US and coalition aircraft had conducted nearly 4,000 strikes in 2019.
