US, allies launch 11 strikes in Iraq, six in Syria (n=17)

[Ynet] The United States and its allies on Tuesday staged a fresh round of air strikes against 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....
, with six in Syria and 11 in Iraq, the coalition leading the operations said in a statement released on Wednesday.

The nearly dozen strikes in Iraq included three near Al Qaim that hit a headquarters used by the bully boy group and two improvised bomb facilities. Other strikes hit near Sinjar, Ramadi, Kisik and Hit, according to the statement.

In Syria, six air strikes near three cities hit three Islamic State tactical units, among other targets.

#2 among other targets

Swedes and French in N. Africa
Italians as a strategic occupation force in Mosel
German air power engaging in Greece
Turks massing at the border

I've got to be an optimist and consider these US 'low value target' missions as practice for clearing air defense from air corridors.
