The U.S.-led coalition fighting the Islamic State (IS) group destroyed a command center in a Syrian mosque yesterday, the Times of Israel website reports today (January 18, 2019).
The strike is another indication that IS has not been "beaten" in Syria, as President Trump claimed last month when he ordered the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the country.
Coalition aircraft "destroyed an ISIS command and control facility in a mosque in Safafiyah," a coalition statement read.
"ISIS continues to violate Law of Armed Conflict and misuse protected structures like hospitals and mosques, which cause a facility to lose its protected status," the statement added.
