Summary

  • Tuesday 20 December 2022 a Reaper struck a Daesh target in northern Syria.

Detail

Royal Air Force aircraft have continued to conduct armed reconnaissance patrols against elements of the Daesh terrorist network in Syria, as well as supporting, as required, the Iraqi authorities efforts to keep Daesh out of their country. On Tuesday 20 December 2022, a Reaper remotely piloted aircraft kept close observation on a building near Al Bab in northern Syria where at least one active Daesh terrorist was known to be present. Great care was taken to ensure that any potential risks to civilians were understood and minimised before the Reapers crew fired a salvo of two Hellfire missiles which both struck the target accurately.
