Daesh lost 30 commanders as Iraq hits their strategic position in Syria
Iraqi military aircraft have pounded a strategic position of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group in Syria’s eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr after Syria’s president, Bashar al-Assad, allowed Iraqi fighter jets to conduct airstrikes against the extremists in Syria without waiting to be granted formal authorization for the assaults.
The media bureau of Iraq’s Joint Operations Command, in a statement released on Monday, announced that Iraqi F-16 fighter jets had bombed and destroyed a two-story building on the outskirts of the village of Sousa, killing 30 Daesh commanders as they were holding a meeting.
The statement added that the aerial assault was carried out following close surveillance by the Iraqi Intelligence Service.
The development came a day after a high-ranking Iraqi official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Russia’s RT Arabic television news network that Iraqi warplanes will be able to enter the Syrian airspace and bombard Daesh sites under Assad’s directives.
The Iraqi official, however, highlighted that the Syrian president had demanded that the Baghdad government inform Syrian authorities before launching any aerial raid.
