   The United States and its allies conducted 29 airstrikes on Islamic
   State targets in Syria and Iraq in a 24-hour period, the Combined Joint
   Task Force said

   in a statement on Saturday.

   Sixteen strikes around seven Iraqi cities destroyed vehicles,
   buildings, equipment and fighting positions, as well as hitting units
   belonging to Islamic State, which is trying to establish a caliphate in
   the Middle East, the task force said.

   In Syria, 11 airstrikes were carried out near the city of Kobani,
   destroying a tank and fighting positions, while others focused on
   targets near Abu Kamal and Dawr az Zawr. The strikes took place between
   Friday and Saturday mornings,
