Jordan air force destroys 56 Islamic State targets
Jordan’s military says its massive airstrikes have destroyed 56 Islamic State positions, including weapons depots and training centers.
The air force has been conducting air raids since Thursday in retaliation for the killing of one of its pilots by Islamic State militants.
Jordanian air force chief Major General Mansour al-Jobour called a news conference on Sunday.
Al-Jobour said the air campaign by a US-led coalition has killed about 7,000 Islamic State fighters since last summer.
The general said Jordan will cooperate with the US military and play a central role in the coalition.
He said Jordan is determined to not only weaken the combat capability of the Islamic State militants but also to destroy the group.
Meanwhile, the US State Department said on Sunday that presidential special envoy John Allen will visit Jordan to meet King Abdullah.
Officials said the US wants to further strengthen its ties with Jordan to devastate the Islamic State organization.
