The strikes, which were in support of Iraqi Security Forces, “destroyed two ISIL machine gun emplacements and an ISIL bunker,” CENTCOM said in a statement.

The attack aircraft used in the strikes managed to exit the areas safely.

Since Aug. 8, CENTCOM says it has conducted 156 airstrikes across Iraq, the majority of which have been near the dam.
