The Pentagon confirms that US and 'partner nation forces' have commenced large-scale bombing raids against Islamic State extremists in Syria in a fresh offensive against the fighters of the Islamic State (ISIL) using cruise missiles, drones and warplanes.
The attacks, which opened with a barrage of cruise missiles from US navy warships, represent a major escalation of Mr Obama’s war against ISIL,
The strikes, which included contributions from as yet officially unspecified “partner nations” were announced by the Pentagon late last night and were concentrated around the city of Raqqa, the militants’ main stronghold close to the border with Iraq.
Unconfirmed reports cite those partners included Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan and Bahrain, although their exact roles in the military action were unclear.
The strike against ISIL is an unprecedented and unexpected show of regional solidarity against the terrorist group that has rampaged through Syria and Iraq.
