Over the past year, the Iraqi Air Force has carried out a notable number of airstrikes on ISIS targets inside Syria. These strikes were carried in the so-called zone of responsibility of the US-led coalition in eastern Syria. However, at the same time, the Iraqi military coordinated its airstrikes with the Damascus government.
The Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) have also contributed efforts to target ISIS in Syria via cross-border artillery strikes.Most recently, on November 18, the PMU struck ISIS fighters in the Syrian town of al-Baghuz al-Fawqani in the middle Euphrates River Valley.
