STUTTGART, Germany — A series of recent airstrikes in Libya against Islamic State targets were delivered to “devastating effect,†eliminating roughly one-third of the group’s already weakened fighting force in the country, a defense official said Thursday.
U.S. Africa Command launched four airstrikes in Libya in September, resuming attacks after a one-year pause. The strikes killed 43 ISIS fighters who were operating out of desert camps.
“We assess that was a pretty significant degradation of their capability,†said the defense official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
