Unlike the 194 airstrikes the US has carried out in the sparsely populated areas of Iraq in support of Iraqi and Kurdish ground operations against ISIL, the scale of the strikes in Syria was greater and they took place in urban and rural areas.
The attack came in three waves, beginning at 4.30am UAE time, according to US military officials, and lasted several hours. First, over forty Tomahawk cruise were launched from a US destroyer, which was followed by two waves of coalition airstrikes, first on targets in northern Syria and then in the east.
The coalition attacks targeted ISIL “fighters, training compounds, headquarters and command and control facilities, storage facilities, a finance centre, supply trucks and armed vehicles” near or in ISIL’s self-declared capital, Raqqa, in the north, Deir Ezzour and Abu Kamal in the east and Hasakah in the north-east, US Central Command said.
