Watch US-led airstrikes obliterate a critical ISIS fighting position
On July 16, coalition military forces in support of Operation Inherent Resolve continued their hunt against ISIS militants with seven airstrikes near Manbij, Syria.
A press release from US Central Command says five separate ISIS tactical units, nine fighting positions, a tactical vehicle, and a house-borne improvised explosive device were eliminated during this joint assault.
In addition to the strikes in Manbij, coalition forces also struck other ISIS targets in Iraq — destroying mortar systems, numerous oil tankers, a supply cache, and assembly areas.
In total, 17 airstrikes using bombers, attack fighters, and remotely piloted aircraft were coordinated against ISIS, the militant group also known as the Islamic State, ISIL, or Daesh.
Here's what the strike against fighting positions near Manbij, Syria, looked like:
