Britain bombs sites in Iraq

SANAA, April 26 (YPA) – The British government has announced that it carried out its first air raid against the terrorist organization “ISIS” in Iraq since last September, as part of the international coalition campaign against the organization.
The Alsumaria News channel quoted the British government, in a briefing to it, as saying that “the Royal Air Force (RAF) forces carried out a successful air raid by two Typhoon fighters on April 10 against anti-ISIS forces in an area Tuz Khurmato. ”
It reported that the operation “led to the removal of a number of ISIS fighters from the battlefield and the further deterioration of the organization.”
It stated that it had targeted terrorists who were in fortified buildings in an isolated area west of Tuz Khurmato, “known to be the focus of their active concentration in the area.”
It also pointed out that the forces conducted a thorough examination of the area to identify non-combatants, before using a group of precision-guided missiles to destroy the buildings in which they were holed up.
The British government added that “the surveillance plane carried out a careful examination of the area,” stressing that “all weapons hit their targets and there are no collateral damage.”
The last British air strike against “ISIS” was last September, when a group of terrorist organization members were targeted after their attack on Iraqi forces.
