Melech 9,900 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 "Turkish warplanes struck Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) group targets across the border in Syria early Friday, the country’s state-run television reported, a day after the extremist group fired at a Turkish military outpost, killing a soldier.TRT television said four military jets took off from Diyarbakir air base in southeast Turkey and used missiles to hit at ISIS targets in the Syrian village of Havar. The village is across the border from the Turkish province of Kilis. TRT said the planes did not violate Syrian airspace.Private NTV television said at least three loud explosions could be heard from Kilis. Meanwhile, a government official told the Associated Press that three F-16 jets took off from Diyarbakir airbase in southeast Turkey early Friday and used smart bombs to hit three ISIS targets across the Turkish border province of Kilis. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of government rules requiring prior authorization for comment, said the targets were two command centers and a gathering point of ISIS supporters.The operation also comes a day after U.S. officials said Turkey had agreed to allow the U.S. access to a key Turkish air base for use against the extremist group.Earlier in the week, a suicide bombing blamed on ISIS militants killed 32 people in southeastern Turkey, near the Syrian border.Turkish officials have raised concerns that the bombing was part of a campaign of retaliation for Turkey’s recent crackdown on ISIS operations in the country. In the last six months, Turkish officials say, more than 500 people suspected of working with ISIS have been detained.Hurriyet newspaper said the Turkish F-16s struck three targets close to the Turkish border, including two locations that the extremist group reportedly used as headquarters. The newspaper said the aerial operation was in retaliation for the ISIS attack a day earlier and was named “Operation Yalcin” in honor of the non-commissioned officer who was killed in that attack. The news come after Turkey has agreed to let the United States launch airstrikes against ISIS from its strategic Incirlik Air Base." http://english.alarabiya.net/en/News/middle-east/2015/07/24/U-S-officials-Turkey-to-let-U-S-strike-Islamic-State-from-Incirlik-base.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeoFameMonster 1,592 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Don't F with the turqs. But it is so weird how contradictory that country is when they are shooting down gay pride attendants with rubber bullets and water cannons and then bombing the Islamic state of Iraq and syria. Their attacking a free world movement and attacking a suppression terrorist organization at the same time, I can't with the middle east. It's going to get to the point where someone drops a nuke on the middle east and that would just be horrible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither the gay parade nor IS fit in their definition of what is right. They are a mess, I am sorry for the LGBT community having to suffer under their dictatorship.

RainingOnMe 7,280 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Turkey is a horrible country, they didn't even identify isis as a terrorist group (bc they killed kurds for them) until they killed one of their own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
