Air StrikesBy Audrey and Alexandra

Who?

ISIS a extremist group in the Middle East that has underground tunnels that are used to transport goods.

What?

The U.S. dropped a 900 kilogram bomb on a underground tunnel used by ISIS. U.S. troops went on the ground with night goggles on to find the tunnels.

Where?

This is happening between the border of Turkey and Syria.

When?

• This occurred on Wednesday Nov. 19.

Why?

The tunnels are were housing ISIS soldiers. This suggests that they are digging to avoid contact with planes.

Opinion

What we did was pretty cool. We cut transportation to them and now they are backing out of the area. Now that they are out of the area that is one less place they control and one less resource they can have. They backed out when faced with Kurdish advance and surveillance planes and drones had been sent to watch.
