TURKISH war planes blitzed Islamic State (Isis) terrorists occupying the town of al-Bab yesterday, with forces allied to Ankara just two miles from the Syrian town.

The Turkish Andalou news agency reported 15 air strikes on the town, claiming that they had destroyed two command centres, an arms depot and two buildings used as headquarters, as well as 10 defensive positions.

Other sources reported that Turkish tanks deployed in the north of Aleppo province as part of the Ankara’s “Operation Euphrates Shield” invasion of Syria were shelling al-Bab.
