the Jordanian army air attack against an air of isis. A statement from the Jordanian armed forces said dozens of jets were deployed in the attacks, which destroyed ammunition depots and training camps run by the Islamic State. Witnesses overheard the monarch telling the pilot’s father the planes were returning from the militant-held city of Raqqa. This show of force came two days after Islamic State released a video showing captured Jordanian pilot Mouath al-Kasaesbeh being burned alive in a cage as masked militants in camouflage uniforms looked on. Jordan’s Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh said in an interview with CNN: ‘It’s actually the beginning of our retaliation over this horrific and brutal murder of our brave young pilot, but it’s not the beginning of our fight against terrorism and extremism. ‘We’re going after them with everything that we have.’ State television aired footage of fighter jets taking off to carry out the raids and later broadcast footage of the actual bombing before the jets returned safely to Jordan. Several men and women were shown writing Koranic verses and anti-Islamic State slogans on what appeared to be the bombs used in the attacks. U.S. military aircraft joined the mission to provide intelligence, surveillance as well as reconnaissance and targeting support, a U.S. official told Reuters. The official also said the strikes focused on multiple targets around Raqqa. King Abdullah has vowed to avenge Kasaesbeh’s killing and ordered commanders to prepare for a stepped-up military role in the U.S.-led coalition against the group. Jordan is a major U.S. ally in the fight against militant Islamist groups, and hosted U.S. troops during operations that led to the invasion of Iraq in 2003. The country is also home to hundreds of U.S. military trainers bolstering defences at the Syrian and Iraqi borders and is determined to keep the jihadists in Syria away from its frontiers. Along with the army chief and senior officials, King Abdullah visited Lt. Kasaesbeh bereaved family in Aya, a village 100 km south of the capital, Amman. The king, wearing a traditional Arab headdress, was met by crowds shouting ‘Long live his majesty the king, long live the king,’ in traditional Bedouin chanting. The region’s influential tribes form an important pillar of support for the Hashemite monarchy and supply the army and security forces with manpower. Safi Kasaesbeh, father of the pilot, told the king: ‘You are a wise monarch, these criminals violated the rules of war in Islam and they have no humanity. Even humanity disowns them. Hours after the release of the video showing the pilot burning to death, the authorities executed two al Qaeda militants who had been imprisoned on death row, including a woman who had tried to blow herself up in a suicide bombing and whose release had been demanded by Islamic State. the first air raid against the Jordanian army isis the first air raid against the Jordanian army isis the first air raid against the Jordanian army isis the Jordanian army's first air raid the Jordanian army's first air raid the Jordanian army's first air raid jordan strikes on isis jordan strikes on isis jordan strikes on isis Jordan attacks to isis Jordan attacks to isis Jordan attacks to isis Jordan's war with isis Jordan's war with isis Jordan's war with isis serangan udara yordania ke ISIS serangan udara yordania ke ISIS serangan udara yordania ke ISIS perang yordania dengan isis perang yordania dengan isis perang yordania dengan isis serangan yordania kepada isis serangan yordania kepada isis serangan yordania kepada isis yordania vs isis yordania vs isis yordania vs isis Jordan attacks with isis Jordan attacks with isis Jordan attacks with isis World War III World War III video of attack on Jordan at isis video of attack on Jordan at isis video of attack on Jordan at isis the war Jordan and isis the war Jordan and isis the war Jordan and isis
