The previous attack in Syria against an Isis weapons depot

In the operation conducted on 3 January by the British and French air forces in Syria, a suspected weapons depot previously used by the Islamic State was hit, and the entire operation was aimed at preventing any attempt to revive the terrorist movement. Sky News writes.

Last night, Raf Typhoons deployed guided bombs in a joint operation with the French Air Force.

The British Ministry of Defence stated that several access tunnels, located in a mountainous area north of the ancient city of Palmyra, were targeted, and that the facility had most likely been used by Isis to store weapons and explosives.

The surrounding area was clear of civilians, and there were no indications of risk to the local population. All aircraft involved in the operation, Sky News continued, returned to base.

In December, the US launched strikes in Syria to 'eliminate Isis fighters, infrastructure, and weapons sites'. The British Ministry of Defence said that Raf Typhoon Fgr4s, supported by a Voyager refuelling craft, joined French aircraft in a joint strike against the underground facility.
