The Iraqi Army succeeded in making the ISIS militants retreat. Around 100 Islamist radicals were eliminated. The Western coalition continues hitting the positions of the Islamists in Syria.
A Kurdish soldier was quoted saying the operations began early in the morning and carried out in three fronts, in Mosul, Kirkuk, and Syria-Iraq border.
The US data claim 211 militants were killed in a week of air-strikes, in different parts of Syria. The operations are carried out mainly in Aleppo, Raqqa, Deir ez-Zor, and El-Hasika.
The Arabic media reports 22 casualties among the civil population. Yet, the Syrian MFA urged the US to intensify the air-strikes in Syrian territories, and include other terrorist groups in the target-list, in addition to the ISIS.
