This was not the first time when the IAF bombed ISIS positions in Syria. Previously, the IAF carried out strikes against ISIS in Syria on May 14, on May 6 and on April 19. According to reports, the strikes on all these targets were conduct in coordination with the Syrian government.
However, at least the last one, announced on May 24, was for sure coordinated with the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which are now working to capture this area from ISIS.
In middle May, Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi announced that Iraqi troops had fully secured the Syrian-Iraqi border in Upper Euphrates and to eliminate ISIS members there.
Good job ! I hope that cooperation between Iraq and Syria will only grow in the future.
HELPING YOUR NEIGHBOR.. THUMBS UP IRAQI
The Kurds “forces” there are to stupid to do so. But they have a big mouth like zio-jews with the american cunts in their back.
Don’t worry and remember the United Snakes will always screw you, if you are a Kurd you should know that soon or later the will screw you, because you need them now as proxy army, when they don’t need them anymore, then you will see too many dead Kurds in Northern Syria from the Turks.
