Notes

France participates in another massed raid, this one at Mosul: “Carried out in the suburbs of Mosul, the operation set out to destroy a military camp used by the terrorist organization to toughen its fighters.”

Dans la nuit du 24 octobre 2014, la force Chammal a de nouveau pris part à un raid aérien mené par la coalition dans la région de Mossoul au nord de l’Irak.

Cette nouvelle mission de bombardement a été planifiée grâce au renseignement recueilli par les éléments de la coalition depuis le début des opérations aériennes. Réalisée dans la proche banlieue de Mossoul, l’opération visait à détruire un camp militaire utilisé par l’organisation terroriste pour aguerrir ses combattants.

Les avions de la coalition ont conduit un raid visant à mettre fin à l’action des terroristes dans cette emprise. Vers 21h00 (heure de Paris), deux avions Rafale ont procédé au largage de quatre bombes AASM(1). Ils ont détruit plusieurs bâtiments du camp.
