in Iraq on Friday with 23 air strikes, hitting the Lion of Islam group near Tal Afar and Ramadi, the US military said on Saturday.

Referring to the Lion of Islam group as Daesh, Col. Wayne Morotto, chief of public affairs for the Combined Joint Task Force, said in a statement: "When coalition assets detect and positively identify Daesh targets, we strike them relentlessly and our strikes exact a heavy toll on this brutal enemy."
