In April and May, the Iraqi Air Force already targeted ISIS positions in Syria. On May 6, Iraqi jets bombed ISIS positions around Dashishah. On April 19, the Iraqi Air Force also bombed ISIS inside Syria.
According to the Iraqi side, the strikes are coordinated with the Syrian government. Experts note that Iraq, Iran, Syria and Russia coordinate such actions via a joint intelligence-sharing HQ established in Baghdad.
