    Fri Jul 3, 2015 8:42am EDT

    WASHINGTON --

    The United States and its allies have conducted 24 air strikes against Islamic State in Iraq and Syria on Thursday, the coalition leading the operations said in a statement on Friday.

    In Syria, coalition forces targeted Islamic State positions with nine strikes near the cities of Hasakah, Ar Raqqah and Tal Abyad, destroying tactical units, fighting positions, vehicles and structures, it said.

    In Iraq, 15 strikes struck Islamic State targets near the cities of Al Huwayjah, Bayji, Fallujah, Haditha, Makhmur, Mosul, Rawah, Sinjar and Tal Afar. They destroyed tunnel systems, bunkers, vehicles, tactical units, buildings and an excavator.

    Clashes, air strikes against IS militants kill 72 in Iraq

    BAGHDAD, July 2, 2015 (Xinhua) --

     Up to 72 people were killed on Thursday in clashes and air strikes by U.S.-led coalition and Iraqi aircraft targeting Islamic State (IS) militants in the provinces of Salahudin and Anbar, security sources said.

    In Salahudin province, a suicide car bomber struck the security forces in al-Fatha area in north of the town of Baiji, some 200 km north of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, leaving seven soldiers and allied militiamen and wounding ten others, a provincial security source told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.

    Meanwhile, sporadic clashes continued between the IS militants and the security forces backed by militias known as Hashd Shaabi, or popular mobilization, in the northeastern and northwestern parts of the town of Baiji as the extremist militants are still fighting in some pockets of resistance, the source said.

    The security forces and allied militias, covered by Iraqi and international aircraft, cleared on Tuesday most of the town after days of heavy clashes with the extremist militants.

    The battles in Baiji came as heavy clashes continue in the nearby Iraq's largest oil refinery as the security forces are fighting to drive IS militants out of the refinery, which the militants are seizing large parts of it.

    Also in the province, army helicopter gunships pounded IS positions in Laiyn area in west of the city of Samarra, some 120 km north of Baghdad, leaving at least 17 IS militants killed and destroying a vehicle carrying heavy machine gun, the source said.

    Since March 2, security forces and thousands of allied Shiite and Sunni militias have been involved in Iraq's biggest offensive in order to recapture from IS militants the northern part of Salahudin province.

    In the western province of Anbar, Iraqi forces and allied militias repelled an attack by dozens of IS militants on military bases outside the IS-held town of Garma, some 40 km west of Baghdad, leaving 25 militants killed and 20 others wounded, along with destroying two vehicles carrying heavy machine guns, a provincial security source anonymously told Xinhua.

    The battle near Garma also left two soldiers killed and three others injured, the source said.

    Separately, the security forces and allied militias cleared Hitawiyn area in south of the IS-held city of Fallujah, some 50 km west of Baghdad, from the IS militants after one day of an offensive against the IS positions in the area, the source said, adding that the offensive will continue to free nearby areas.

    In addition, a fierce clash broke out in the morning when the IS militants attacked an army position in Zoubaa area in southeast of the militant-seized city of Fallujah, some 50 km west of Baghdad, leaving six soldiers killed and destroying two military vehicles, the source said without giving further details about the casualties among the attackers.

    Another attack for the IS militants on army position killed 11 soldiers and destroyed three military vehicles in Albu Souda area near the town of Garma, the source said.

    Also in the province, artillery bombardment on Albu Hatem area in west of Fallujah killed four civilians and wounded five others, he added.

    The IS group has seized most of Anbar province and tried to advance toward Baghdad during the past few months, but several counter attacks by security forces and Shiite militias have pushed them back.

    The security situation in Iraq has drastically deteriorated since June 10, 2014, when bloody clashes broke out between Iraqi security forces and IS militants.

    Five more IS militants were killed and three others wounded when an army helicopter gunship pounded a building at a village in northeast of the militant-seized town of Garma, some 10 km east of Fallujah, the source said.

    Meanwhile, the IS militants fired mortar rounds on al-Mazraa military base in east of Fallujah, killing a soldier and wounding four others, the source added.

    In addition, 10 policemen and tribal fighters were killed and eight others injured in heavy clashes with IS militants in Sheikh Masoud area, just east of the IS-held provincial capital city of Ramadi, some 110 km west of Baghdad, the source said.

    U.S.-led coalition warplanes carried out an air strike on three houses used by IS militants as hideouts in Mohammadi area in west of Ramadi, killing five IS militants and wounding nine others, the source said, adding that the bombing also killed two civilians and wounded eight others.

    The international aircraft also bombarded a building house of IS militants in the militant-seized city of Rutba, some 370 km west of Baghdad, leaving nine IS militants killed and seven others, including four civilians, wounded, he said.

    Also in the province, fierce clashes erupted in the morning between IS militants and security forces backed by Sunni tribal fighters in Khasfa area near the city of Haditha, some 200 km northwest of Baghdad, leaving four soldiers killed and seven others injured, the source said, without giving further details about the casualties among the extremist militants.

    The IS group has seized most of Anbar province and tried to advance toward Baghdad during the past few months, but several counter attacks by security forces and Shiite militias have pushed them back.
