💨 Abstract

Britain and France's air forces conducted a joint operation to bomb a suspected underground arms cache used by the Islamic State in Syria. The target was identified through intelligence analysis and located in a mountainous region north of Palmyra. British Typhoon jets, supported by a Voyager refuelling tanker, used Paveway IV guided bombs to target access tunnels. The area was confirmed to be devoid of civilians, and all aircraft returned safely.
