Turkey's government took a stand against Islamic extremists Friday, sending its warplanes to pound ISIS targets across the border in Syria, and detaining nearly 300 suspected militants across the country.

 

A government statement said three Turkish F-16 jets took off from Diyarbakir airbase in southeast Turkey early on Friday and used smart bombs to hit three ISIS targets. A government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of government rules requiring authorization for comment, told the Associated Press the targets were two command centers and a gathering point of ISIS supporters.

 

The official statement said the decision for the operation was made at a security meeting held on Thursday after ISIS militants fired from Syrian territory at a Turkish military outpost, killing a soldier.

Turkish F-16 air force jets on Friday evening took off from their base on a new mission to bomb targets controlled by Islamic State (ISIS) jihadists in Syria, television reports said, according to AFP. The war planes took off from their base in the southeastern city in Diyarbakir to carry out a second wave of strikes against ISIS, the news agency reported, citing the CNN-Turk and NTV television channels.

 

This marks the second time in less than 24 hours that Turkish fighter jets bombed ISIS targets in Syria, the first such attack having taken place early Friday morning. After a wave of violence in the country, the government has also vowed to take action against Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) separatists who have claimed attacks on the security forces in the last days.

 

NTV said that Turkish war planes had also set off on a separate but simultaneous mission to bomb PKK military camps at their base in Kurdish-ruled northern Iraq. A PKK spokesman later confirmed the report, saying that Turkish warplanes had bombed military positions of the PKK in Iraq. "At around 11:00 pm (2000 GMT) tonight, Turkish warplanes started bombing our positions near the border, accompanied by heavy artillery shelling," PKK spokesman in Iraq Bakhtiar Dogan told AFP.
