數百名伊斯蘭國戰鬥人員在空襲中喪生大綱
Airstrikes have killed at least 250 Islamic State fighters in Iraq, both Iraqi and U.S. officials reported Thursday.
The airstrikes hit around 40 Islamic State vehicles just south of Fallujah, a former Islamic State stronghold liberated by U.S.-led Iraqi coalitions last week.
These airstrikes mark the deadliest attack against the jihadist group, though officials warn their morale does not seem to be damaged, despite territorial losses.
Syrian forces have also made strides this week in regaining control of Islamic State held towns near Iraq which have effectively erased the border for jihadist fighters, making transportation and coordination easier in what Islamic State has declared its "caliphate" of the two countries.
After succeeding in their month-long coalition to seize control of Fallujah, Iraqi forces will work to retake Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, from jihadist control.伊拉克和美國官員星期四稱，在伊拉克發動的空襲打死至少250名伊斯蘭國武裝人員。
空襲在費盧傑以南擊中約40輛伊斯蘭國組織的車輛。費盧傑曾經是伊斯蘭國的據點，上個星期被美國領導的伊拉克聯軍解放。
這次空襲是對伊斯蘭國組織造成死傷人數最多的一次攻擊，但是有關官員警告說，伊斯蘭國儘管失去很多地盤，但是士氣似乎沒有受到影響。
這個星期，敘利亞軍隊也從伊斯蘭國組織手中奪回了伊拉克邊境附近一些城市的控制權。伊斯蘭國組織控制這些城市實際上打通了敘利亞和伊拉克之間的邊界，稱該地區爲 “哈里發國”，便於運輸和協調行動。
伊拉克軍隊在耗時一個月成功奪回了費盧傑的控制權後，正努力從伊斯蘭國組織手中奪回伊拉克第二大城市摩蘇爾的控制權。
