Coalition military forces continued to attack ISIL terrorists in Syria and Iraq between 8 a.m., April 9, and 8 a.m., April 10, local time. In Syria, Coalition military forces conducted seven airstrikes, using bomber, fighter and attack aircraft. Separately in Iraq, Coalition military forces conducted nine airstrikes approved by the Iraqi Ministry of Defense using fighter, attack and remotely piloted aircraft against ISIL terrorists.”The Syrian strikes support continued advances of Kurdish forces in the northern part of the country” said Brig. Gen. Thomas Weidley, CJTF Chief of Staff. “Likewise, complementary strikes in Iraq that support multiple on-going operations by the ISF and KSF, combine to produce ever increasing lethal pressure on Daesh throughout both Syria and Iraq.” The following is a summary of the strikes conducted since the last press release:

Syria

• Near Al Hasakah, three airstrikes struck an ISIL large tactical unit and an ISIL tactical unit and destroyed four vehicles.

• Near Kobani, four airstrikes struck an ISIL tactical unit and destroyed four ISIL fighting positions and two ISIL vehicles.
