Erbil (Kurdistan 24) - Joint Special Operations Command announced Friday that the Iraqi air force raids on targets to regulate Daesh inside Syrian territory.

The Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said he drew his orders to the Iraqi Airways to launch strikes on specific targets for Daesh in areas bordering Syria to the Iraqi border.

Abadi said that the strikes by Iraqi fighters in Syria targeted cells planned bombings have occurred recently in a crowded Baghdad commercial areas.

And killed dozens of Iraqis in suicide bombings and earlier this month targeted shows for cars and markets in shy of Baya, granular Baghdad.

The Joint Special Operations Command said in a statement Kurdistan received 24 a copy of the security personnel "went on alert effort in leading the operations and intelligence services to get to the perpetrators who planned and carried out these terrorist operations and after days of meticulous work reached them and determine their places" inside Syria.

The statement said, "In the morning (Friday) pounced Champions Iraqi Air Force F-16 aircraft on the terrorist enemy targets in the areas of Husaybah and Abu Kamal inside Syrian territory (from the point of western Iraq) were destroyed nests of gangs Daesh its headquarters and fully."

The statement did not say if the Iraqi bombing inside Syria will continue in the future, but he said "the Iraqi strikes will remain able to reach all the places they are."

This is the first time that Iraqi aircraft launched missions outside the border since the fall of the former regime in 2003 was made by the Syrian side any comment.

Daesh launched to organize a series of suicide attacks in the east of Mosul and the Iraqi capital, Baghdad recently as Iraqi forces continue to tighten the noose in his stronghold.

Daesh still controlled part of Mosul and towns sprawling located near Kirkuk and the other in Anbar province on the border with Syria.

The US military has announced that the Department of Defense developed a plan to cross the borders of Iraq and Syria aimed at eliminating the threat posed by extremist organization.

Said Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford said in a statement that the plan will exceed the borders of Iraq and Syria to include the threat posed by extremists around the world to fuel conflicts.

It seems that the initial plan will be broader than previously thought in the first instance have been ignored in the beginning of tactical details such as specific requests for troops.

 

[Synopsis]

This statement from the last article could be telling of what is about to happen, "The US military has announced that the Department of Defense developed a plan to cross the borders of Iraq and Syria aimed at eliminating the threat posed by extremist organization."

In a sense, I wish they would just go ahead and do this and then tell everybody later. With ISIS crawling over to Iran to be recharged and then reassigned from Iranian terrorist training camps for deadly terrorist attacks in other parts of the world, I can't help but wonder if the US and other world powers are going to join in and destroy the ISIS and ISIS related terrorist areas in Iran. Why give these vially evil elements a heads up to what is coming? I suspect it is far better to do it now than before Iran has a viable medium or long range missile capable of delivering their future nuclear warheads. Hey, if Saddam was lobbing SCUD missiles to Israel, I suspect the Iranians would want to do far worse to Israel and others who Iran would deem a threat.

Massive loss for ISIS as Kurdish troops restart operations south of Manbij

27/02/2017

Nine villages were seized from ISIS on Monday as the Kurdish-led ‘Syrian Democratic Forces’ (SDF) reopened the Manbij front and pushed southwards along the Euphrates River.

With ISIS struggling to hold ground in the region, Kurdish forward units took control over the villages of Jurunli, Mahunah, Haymar al-Jays, Judayat al-Faras, Turaykiyat al-Humr, Qibab Kabir, Qibab Saghir, Sakhanah and Arudah with relative ease just hours after the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) also advanced nearby, thus cutting off the frontline territory between ISIS and the Turkish Armed Forces.

A military source informed Al-Masdar News that the SDF and Manbij Military Council are keen to take control of Al-Khafsa – this town has been fortified by ISIS militants after reaching a frontline stalemate in August 2016 following the liberation of Manbij city.

Remarkably, there are credible reports which indicate cooperation between the SDF and SAA; the latter provided artillery support for the advancing Kurdish forces.

The Russian Air Force was also operational in eastern Aleppo tonight, pulverizing a number of Islamic State gun positions.

Earlier today, SDF reinforcements and US military advisors arrived to Manbij. These forces are now spearheading the offensive. A new batch of armored vehicles and technicals were also provided to the SDF.

US sends new batch of armored vehicles to Kurdish forces

BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:15 P.M.) – The U.S. military has allegedly sent another batch of armored vehicles to the Kurdish-led “Syrian Democratic Forces” (SDF) in the Al-Hasakah Governorate, local activists reported on Monday.

Activists released photos this week of recently delivered U.S armored vehicles to the Kurdish forces, who are currently on the offensive against the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization in the northern countryside of the Deir Ezzor Governorate.

The photos showing the arrival of U.S. armored vehicles in the Al-Hasakah countryside still remain unconfirmed, as both parties have not made any official announcement.

Thousands of Kurdish troops arrive from Iraq to spearhead Deir Ezzor offensive

A Kurdish convoy described as nearly “10 kilometers long” entered the Hasakah governorate on Monday amid a massive build-up for an upcoming Kurdish-led offensive towards Deir Ezzor city, possibly phase 4 of the Euphrates Wrath campaign.

The army reportedly consisted of a mixture of Peshmerga and YPG fighters that had finished operations across the border where the Iraqi Army has won the upper hand.

However, a friend of Al-Masdar News, Wladimir van Wilgenburg, called a spokesperson of the Peshmerga based in Erbil who denied their forces had crossed into Syria.

Nevertheless, hundreds of Kurdish tanks, armored vehicles, technicals and BMP’s travelled through the Al-Malkiyah border crossing, eventually linking up with SDF militants at the main highway in Hasakah earlier today.

According to information obtained by Al-Masdar News reporter Yusha Yuseef, these combined Kurdish forces will join an overwhelming US-backed offensive through the oil-rich desert north of Deir Ezzor.

Should this upcoming offensive go to plan, the predominately Kurdish SDF would lift a three-year long siege imposed by ISIS on the provincial capital of Deir Ezzor where entrenched Syrian government troops have struggled to turn the tides in recent months.

Meanwhile, one report suggested that Kurdish forces had captured Al-Kubar on Sunday; this ISIS-held town is anchored at the Euphrates River in northern Deir Ezzor. The advance could not be independently verified by Al-Masdar News’ military sources.

Elsewhere, south of Manbij, the SDF captured 9 villages from ISIS in rural Aleppo earlier today, coming within striking distance of the Al-Khafsa water pumping station.
