Watch US-led airstrikes obliterate a critical ISIS fighting position

On July 16, coalition military forces in support of Operation Inherent Resolve continued their hunt against ISIS militants with seven airstrikes near Manbij, Syria. 

A press release from US Central Command states that a total of five separate ISIS tactical units, nine fighting positions, a tactical vehicle, and a house-borne improvised explosive device (HBIED) were eliminated during this joint-assault.

In addition to the strikes in Manbij, coalition forces also struck other ISIS targets in Iraq - destroying mortar systems, numerous oil tankers, a supply cache, and assembly areas. 

Altogether, a total of 17 airstrikes using bombers, attack fighters, and remotely piloted aircraft were coordinated in the effort to put an end to ISIS' reign of terror within the region.
