Over the past two days, US and partner nations have carried out 10 airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria and 16 against the group in Iraq. Officials claimed that US airstrikes have killed over 1,000 Islamic State fighters, as well as a number of senior and mid-level commanders, since mid-November in Iraq and Syria.
