Incredible video captures the moment 250 ISIS fanatics are wiped out during a single air raid less than 24 hours after Turkey massacre
Impressive air raid also destroys at least 40 vehicles to the south of newly recaptured Fallujah
AT least 250 ISIS fighters have been killed in a US-led air raid around the city of Fallujah.
The air strikes also destroyed at least 40 vehicles held by the sick extremists to the south of the city.
If true, the air raid was one of the deadliest in the history of fighting against ISIS.
The deadly strikes come a week after ISIS abandoned the city of Fallujah.
The sick fighters fled the city which they had held for over two years.
But despite ISIS’s weakening grip on their long-held territory, there are still fears for their ability to strike abroad.
The air raid came under 24 hours after Istanbul’s Ataturk Airport was hit by three suicide bombers.
Wednesday’s attack left 42 dead and hundreds wounded.
ISIS have not yet claimed responsibility for the sick attack, but it is widely believed to be their work.
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said: “the evidence points to Daesh (ISIS).”
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also said that terror groups would not stop Turkey from achieving their many ambitions.
He said: “Neither the PKK, the DHKP-C, nor Daesh... will succeed in deterring Turkey from its goals.”
Over the coming years, Turkey aims to become one of the 10 strongest economies in the world and to build the world’s largest airport.
But CIA chief John Brennan said that a lot has been done to tackle the extremists.
He said: “We've made, I think, some significant progress, along with our coalition partners, in Syria and Iraq, where most of the ISIS members are resident right now.
“But ISIS' ability to continue to propagate its narrative, as well as to incite and carry out these attacks -- I think we still have a ways to go before we're able to say that we have made some significant progress against them.”
Brennan has told a Washington forum that the attack on the Istanbul airport was most likely due to ISIS “depravity”.
Earlier in June, he spoke to congress to warn against ISIS’s global reach.
Brennan said that there is a greater likelihood that lone wolves will carry out isolated attacks in Western countries.
The recapture of Fallujah marks the fact that ISIS’s grip is weakening in its territories.
But, according to two rebel sources, US-backed Syrian rebels were forced to retreat from an ISIS-held town on the Iraqi border.
They also said that the sick extremists had mounted a counter attack on a coalition-held air base.
