No fewer than 43 Islamic State Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) militants were killed in northern Syria in the last 24 hours as part of the ongoing Operation Euphrates Shield, according to a Turkish General Staff statement released early on Feb. 11.
In addition, 245 ISIL targets, including the terror group’s shelters, headquarters, defense positions and vehicles were hit by Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters with Turkish Land Forces' support, the statement said.
Also, Turkish fighter jets destroyed 55 buildings used as hideouts, two headquarters, two collecting points, a guard station, an arms depot, and a wireless station of the terrorist group.
The Turkish army is supporting FSA fighters in liberating Al-Bab, a strategic city for ISIL from the terrorist organisation. Feb. 10 marks the 172nd day since the city was surrounded in order to liberate it.
