Joint British-French Aerial Assault Targets Islamic State Arms Cache in the Syrian region
Royal Air Force Typhoon jets have joined forces with French aircraft in a joint strike targeting an hidden munitions depot in Syrian territory used by the Islamic State group (IS), according to the British defence ministry.
The facility, located using intelligence, was assessed as containing munitions and bombs, the statement said, and was located in hills just to the north of Palmyra in Syria's central region.
"Our aircraft used laser-guided Paveway IV weapons to strike a several access tunnels down to the facility... initial indications are that the target was engaged successfully," the MoD said.
There was no sign of any civilian casualties in the attack late on Saturday and all the aircraft returned to base without incident, the defence officials confirmed.
The British jets were backed up by a Voyager refuelling tanker.
The Islamic State group - alternatively referred to as the so-called Islamic State - established militant control over parts of Syria and Iraq prior to its 2019 collapse.
"This strike underscores the UK's leading role, and determination to operate in unison with our allies, to eradicate any re-emergence of IS and their violent and radical beliefs in the area," the British Defence Secretary John Healey said.
RAF aircraft have performed overwatch operations over Syria to "prevent any attempted resurgence" of Islamic State following its defeat at the Baghuz confrontation in 2019, the MoD reported.
"I want to thank every member of our armed forces participating in this mission for their expertise and their courage," he said. "They were among a great many British troops stationed over the festive period. This action, to remove militants who pose a risk to our security, demonstrates how British military are always on standby, all year round, ensuring Britain's security domestically and strong abroad."
During December, the American forces carried out what it called a "massive strike" targeting Islamic State objectives in Syria, subsequent to an attack killed two US troops and a civilian linguist in the Palmyra area.
The U.N. says Daesh still maintains between 5,000 and 7,000 fighters in Syria and Iraq.
