WASHINGTON
U.S. and coalition partners continued to pound ISIL targets in Iraq and Syria on Monday and Tuesday, U.S. Central Command announced.
Nearly half of more than a dozen strikes have targeted the terror group as it seeks to wrest control of a border town in Syria from Kurdish forces.
In Syria, five airstrikes near the northern border town of Kobani, also known as Ayn al-Arab, destroyed four ISIL armed vehicles, an ISIL tank, and destroyed an ISIL unit.
Two additional airstrikes west of al-Hasakah hit multiple ISIL buildings, including an air observation building and staging areas. A strike northeast of Deir ez-Zor hit an ISIL staging area and bomb production facility. A strike southwest of Rabiyah hit a small group of ISIL fighters.
Saudi Arabia and the the United Arab Emirates participated in the Syria strikes.
In Iraq, four strikes near the northern town of Sinjar destroyed three ISIL armed vehicles, hit a small group of ISIL fighters, and destroyed another ISIL armed vehicle that Central Command said was firing on Kurdish Peshmerga forces.
Belgium participated in the Iraq strikes.
