Coalition Strikes Destroy 168 Daesh Oil Trucks Near Syria’s Palmyra

US-led coalition airstrikes near the Syrian city of Palmyra destroyed 168 Daesh oil tanker trucks Thursday, the Operation Inherent Resolve joint task force said in a press release.


The task force called the bombardment its largest airstrike in the operation to date. "The Coalition is systematically targeting ISIL-affiliated [Daesh-affiliated] oil infrastructure to eliminate millions of dollars in potential revenue," Friday’s release stated.

"This most recent strike resulted in estimated lost revenue of more than $2 million."
