Iraq carries out air strikes on Daesh in Syria

Iraqi warplanes on Sunday targeted Islamic State (IS) militants inside Syria directly following an order by the Prime Minister of Iraq, Haider al-Abadi.

Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered the "painful strike" which targeted "a meeting of IS commanders south of Al-Dushashiya in Syrian territory", a statement said.

Last month, Spokesman for the Operation Inherent Resolve Combined Joint Task Force Army Col. Ryan Dillon praised successful air strikes launched by Iraq and USA -led worldwide coalition against the Islamic State group in Syria.

"In the past week, the Iraqi Security Forces continued to aggressively pursue ISIS (IS) remnants throughout the country, destroying four tunnel systems and locating 27 weapons caches and more than 30 improvised explosive devices and mortars throughout Iraq", Dillon said.

Earlier in April, Iraqi Premier stated that his country would "take all necessary measures [against IS] if they threaten the security of Iraq".

In 2017, Iraqi jets carried out at least one strike on IS targets inside Syria, also in coordination with the coalition and with the approval of the Syrian government.

On April 19, Iraq said it had carried out an air raid against ISIS in Syria that killed 36 ISIS fighters, near the town of Hajin in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor. Both governments have been fighting the group since it declared a caliphate in the two countries in 2014.
