An image reportedly showing a US-led coalition airstrike destroying an ISIS IED facility.

US-led coalition airstrikes against the Islamic State on February 24 and 25 destroyed an IED production/storage facility and an oil-processing facility near Al Qaim, Iraq, and Abu Kamal, Syria.

These were just two of dozens of precision strikes targeting members of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh, in Iraq and Syria each day as part of the Combined Joint Task Force's Operation Inherent Resolve.

Though Syrian regime forces and opposition factions, as well as their international backers, are observing a tenuous cease-fire, Al Qaeda and ISIS targets are still fair game. Recently OIR airstrikes have severely limited ISIS' ability to make money and pay its fighters.
