An American-led coalition reported 575 airstrikes during the first two weeks of this month alone
Ash Sha’Fah, Syria — ISIS has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing outside a restaurant in northern Syria, with four Americans among at least 16 people killed. The terror group once controlled vast territory in Syria and Iraq, but has been pushed into a few remaining pockets. But in northern Syria, U. S. and Kurdish forces are battling an estimated 2,000 ISIS fighters.
On the way to the front line, there’s not much left of the villages that once stood. The ISIS fighters who used to hold them only days ago remain a lethal threat, launching counterattacks in areas thought to be secure and lacing the only road in and out with explosives.
