U.S. – Its Allies Strike 15 ISIL Targets In Iraq – Syria In 3 Days
2014-11-30
[IraqiNews] The U.S. military and its allies hit Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
forces with 15 air strikes in Iraq and Syria during a three-day period, the U.S. Central Command revealed.

Thirteen attacks were carried out in Iraq since Wednesday and two more targeted Islamic State in Syria.

The air strikes in Syria hit an Islamic State fighting position and staging area near Kobani and a tactical unit near Aleppo, Central Command said.

In Iraq, bunkers, vehicles, a bulldozer and a fighting position were destroyed near Kirkuk and a large unit and four tactical units also were hit in five air strikes

Near djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, two raids destroyed vehicles and a heavy weapon while another tactical unit was hit near Ramadi.

Islamic State vehicles, tactical units, a fighting position and a building were hit in strikes near the Iraqi cities of Ar Rutbah, Falluja, Al Qaim and Baiji, Central Command said.

#8  A newly established North American all volunteer force (1st North American Expeditionary Force) of former American and Canadian military personnel has voiced support for Kurdish operations against ISIS on official YPG, YPJ twitter accounts.

The 1st North American Expeditionary Force says it is neither a militia or PMC (Private Military Corporation) and is not affiliated with the Canadian or United States Federal Government.



The expeditionary force has just been founded by a Canadian veteran who is assisting American and Canadian veterans who wish to go to Iraq to fight as an allied force alongside the Kurds in their struggle with the ISIS terrorist organization as boots on the ground.

#6  Due to the leadership of Turkey's alliance with the terrorist group ISIS, Syrian Kurds are now openly recognizing the Turkish Kurdish force PKK as an allie. The PKK is considered by the West a terrorist organization, however their argument that they are not a terrorist organization and that Turkey is supporting ISIS has brought Kurdish forces across the region into a closer alliance during the past 24 hours.

This could prove significant as Kurdish forces on both side of the Syrian/Turkey border may deem it necessary to militarily counter the Turkish/ISIS military/forces on the Kurdistan region.

#5  Air Support - Australia

- Australian F18 Super Hornet using night vision during the past two weeks discovered an ISIS cave network in the mountains at Kirkuk. An allied response to that intelligence resulted in 100 ISIS terrorists killed and the cave network destroyed, 44 targets on site hit by air strikes. Kurdish ground forces supported the strike with a ground cleanup sweep of the area.

- Australia also delivered weapons, ammunition, and 32 tons of blankets, tents, food and water to civilians at Mount Sinjar in the past week.

#1  

YPG, YPJ forces were energized even more yesterday by the attack from Turkish soil. It is reported that Kurdish forces responded by killing more ISIS terrorists and expanding the front line positions than in any day since the battles began in the Kobane area. 83 terrorists killed on the Southern, Eastern fronts with various areas liberated.

Areas controlled by Kurds several kilometers outside of Kobane were expanded.

The continued alliance between Turkey and the ISIS terrorists will add justification to defensive measures taken by Kurdish forces against Turkey who is offereing aid and comfort to radical Islamic Jihadists.

It is highly recommended that the West responds with additional support of the Kurdish forces as they continue their WOT against the ISIS and terrorist network in that part of the world. And to isolate Turkey for state sponsored terrorism.
