"More than 250 ISIS fighters were reportedly killed in the raid conducted by anti-ISIS Coalition aircraft on Wednesday on the escape route from the city of Fallujah.

The images released this morning are reminiscent of 'Highway 80' during the Gulf War: dozens of charred pick-ups, minivans and SUVs lined up are what would remain of ISIS in the main stronghold located just 60 km from the capital Baghdad.

According to Pentagon officials, as many as 250 militants and over 40 vehicles were eliminated during the raids that surprised what remained of the occupants of the former ISIS stronghold in Iraq. According to the estimates of Colonel Chris Garver, spokesman for US anti-IS operations, the Caliphate suffered more than 1.000 victims during the liberation of the city which returns after two years under the control of the ISF (Iraqi Security Forces).

Although not confirmed, the raids were also likely conducted by F / A-18s Super Hornet board the USS aircraft carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69), recently arrived in the Mediterranean Sea. "
