British and French Jets Bomb ISIS Weapons Facility North of Palmyra in Joint Air Strike In Syria
British and French fighter jets launched a precision airstrike on a suspected Islamic State arms facility north of Palmyra, Syria, Saturday evening. The underground cache, believed to store weapons and explosives used by the extremist group, was targeted using Paveway IV guided bombs dropped from Typhoon FGR4 jets. Officials confirmed the area was free of civilians and all aircraft returned safely. Since 2014, the Royal Air Force has struck IS positions alongside coalition partners, yet UN estimates show 5,000-7,000 fighters remain active. The strike underscores ongoing Western efforts to prevent IS resurgence and maintain regional stability.
