Turkish military: ISIL positions bombed in Syria

The Turkish military says its fighter jets have bombed the positions of the ISIL Takfiri terrorist group in northern Syria.

Turkey’s military said on Monday that the airstrikes had targeted three ISIL (Daesh) positions used as shelters, ammunition depots and military headquarters in northern Syria on Sunday.

Ankara deployed troops and tanks to northern Syria on August 24 in a declared bid against Daesh as well as Kurdish terrorists. Syria, which has been fighting foreign-backed militancy since March 2011, has denounced the Turkish incursion as a breach of its sovereignty.

Last month, Turkish tanks entered Syria to allegedly strike Daesh terrorists in Jarablus, and its air force along with US-led military coalition aircraft pounded targets in and around the city.

The Turkish claims that it is hitting terrorists in Syria come as reports indicate that Ankara has been supporting the anti-Damascus militants inside the Arab country.

Just on Monday, the Syrian News Channel, also known as Alikhbaria Syria, said Ankara had sent two trucks carrying steel pipes used for manufacturing mortar shells to militants in northern Syria.
