A coalition led by the United States targeted ISIS in Syria with five air strikes on Friday, and also hit the militant group with 20 bombardments in Iraq, according to a statement released on Saturday.

The Combined Joint Task Force said the Syria strikes hit tactical units near Al Hasakah, Ar Raqqah, Manbij, and Mar'a and also destroyed tactical vehicles and a building belonging to ISIS in those areas. Near Palmyra, a strike destroyed and damaged ISIS front-end loaders, tractor-like equipment which are used in construction, it said.

Four attacks concentrated near Ramadi in Iraq struck two ISIS tactical units, and also destroyed a preparation area, a front-end loader, a heavy machine gun and six fighting positions. They also "denied ISIL access to terrain", the statement said, using a common acronym for ISIS. The area near Sultan Abdallah also had heavy bombardment, with three strikes destroying a vehicle-bomb factory and storage facility.
