Iraq: airstrikes kill 40 IS terrorists in Syria
The Iraqi military says it has killed 40 Islamic State terrorists in airstrikes in Syria.
The joint operations command said in a statement its F-16 jets struck IS positions in their pocket in eastern Syria twice on Tuesday, destroying a base and an arms warehouse in the villages of Sousa and Baghous.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group says at least 16 IS fighters were killed in the strikes.
