US-led strikes destroy tanks, air defenses near Syria’s Palmyra
The US-led coalition battling Islamic State said on Friday it destroyed 14 tanks, an air defense artillery system and other weaponry near the Syrian city of Palmyra after IS seized the city this month.
The strikes, which the military said in a statement took place on Thursday, followed a warning from the US military that it could strike weapons it believed posed a danger to the US-led coalition in the region.
