WORLD AT WAR: UK and France Fighter Jets Strike Underground ISIS Weapons Cache in Syria

British and French fighter jets saw action in this busy weekend.

On Saturday (3), while the world has its attention focused on the US operation that arrested Venezuelan Nicolas Maduro, European powers moved to strike an ISIS weapons storing facility in Palmyra, Syria.

BBC reported:
“Royal Air Force Typhoon jets have joined French aircraft in a joint strike on an underground arms cache in Syria used by the Islamic State group (IS), the UK Ministry of Defence says.

Initial assessment is that ‘the target was engaged successfully’.

“’This action shows our UK leadership, and determination to stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies, to stamp out any resurgence of Daesh and their dangerous and violent ideologies in the Middle East’, UK Defense Secretary John Healey said.”

RTE reported:
“The British Ministry of Defense said it co-operated with France to strike an underground facility in Syria that had likely been used by the Islamic State group to store weapons.
