CAIRO: The Jordanian Royal Air Force has participated in the US-led airstrikes carried against the Daesh group in Syria earlier on Friday.
The US military said it struck Daesh strongholds across central Syria in response to a deadly attack on American forces in the country. Aircraft from Jordan were also involved.
Jordan’s state-run Petra News Agency said: “This participation comes in cooperation with the United States as part of the international coalition against the terrorist Daesh group, which the Syrian government recently joined.”
The US Central Command (Centcom) said the attacks were carried by fighter jets, attack helicopters and artillery against more than 70 targets at multiple locations, mainly targeting infrastructure and weapons sites.
