Turkish jets destroys 17 ISIS targets in northern Syria

Turkish jets on Sunday night destroyed some 17 ISIS targets near Al-Bab in northern Syria under the Euphrates Shield operation, Anadolu Agency reported.

Turkish Air Force hit at least two ISIS-occupied buildings in Al-Bab region with 16 bombs, and 17 IS targets were destroyed by the attack.

Meanwhile, two Turkish soldiers were wounded in a ISIS attack in northern Syria on the same day.

The soldiers were wounded when IS bombed an area near the city of Al-Bab, north of Aleppo, where Turkish troops are located.

The wounded were taken to a hospital in Turkey's border province of Gaziantep, according to hospital sources.

On Saturday, one Turkish soldier was killed in a similar ISIS attack to Turkish troops.

The Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army has been fighting around the Al-Bab and Al-Rai regions as part of Operation Euphrates Shield, which was launched in late August to rid the northern Syrian border area of terrorists.
