AMMAN: The UAE Air Force F-16 squadron deployed to an airbase in Jordan conducted fresh airstrikes last night against the terrorist organisation ISIL (Daesh) that showed the whole its savagery and ugly violation of all human and religious values.

The UAE F-16s struck a number of ISIL's operation and extraction points along crude oil pipelines in order to dry up the terror group's sources of funding, reported the Emirates News Agency (WAM).

The jets hit their targets and returned safely to base.
