On February 27 at 5 p.m. Damascus time, a US- and Russia-brokered cease-fire took effect in Syria between government forces and the opposition.
But the US-led coalition's efforts against ISIS — aka ISIL, Daesh, and the Islamic State — and Al Qaeda targets in Syria and Iraq will carry on undaunted. This is evident by recent videos released from the Combined Joint Task Force's Operation Inherent Resolve.
"I want to make totally clear that there will be absolutely no cease-fire with respect to ISIL," US President Barack Obama said in a statement. "We remain relentless in going after them."
Obama's statement came after a very busy week of bombing through Operation Inherent Resolve, which released videos of airstrikes destroying ISIS infrastructure, fighting positions, and oil wellheads. These videos show just a few of the 175 strikes OIR carried out between February 20 and 26.
These videos were taken before the cease-fire, but they will continue uninterrupted until top leadership determines that OIR's mission of degrading and destroying ISIS has been achieved.
