The attacks are part of a systematic series of raids by the US-led Coalition in support of local forces. In the past two years RAF warplanes and drones have carried out 1,100 strikes
against IS, second only to the US. An MoD spokesman said: “The attack had to be delivered through heavy cloud, but both of the target buildings were destroyed by direct hits.” Meanwhile
RAF Typhoons destroyed an IS tunnel system in Iraq 30 miles west of the Kurdish city of Kirkuk. Britain is also turning its attention to an Al Qaeda affiliate in Syria – Jabhat Fateh
al-Sham – which the MoD says is “a terrorism threat to the UK”.
