Coalition airstrike targets ISIS post in western Iraq desert

Eight "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" (ISIS) elements were killed in an airstrike launched by international coalition warplanes on an ISIS position south-west of al-Rutba in westernmost Anbar, the Anbar Operations Command said Tuesday (December 5th).

"Coalition airstrikes targeted a four-wheel drive vehicle and an ISIS gathering in al-Nakheeb desert," command spokesman Col. Mohammed al-Dulaimi told Diyaruna.

Oil tankers and a weapons cache were also destroyed in the strike, which was co-ordinated with the Iraqi side, al-Dulaimi said.
