The latter threatened on Monday to run within 24 hours if France did not cease its strikes against Iraq in the EI. The Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad, considered illegitimate by the United States, said he was informed Monday of Washington's intention to hit the jihadists positions. The Pentagon said the strikes had been carried out "by means of fighters, bombers and Tomahawk missiles" fired from such vessels operating in international waters of the Red Sea and the Gulf.

Five Middle Eastern "partner nations" - Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates - "participated or supported" these strikes, the Pentagon said. According to an American official, the raids were aimed mainly at positions of IE Raqa, the power center of IE, as well as targets on the border, highly porous, between Syria and Iraq. According to the Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (OSDH), the coalition led forty air raids and missile attacks against the "basics, posts and positions" of IE to Raqa and in the region of Abu Kamal (east) on the Iraqi border. Twenty jihadists were killed.
The strikes also targeted positions of the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda, Al-Nosra Front, fighting the regime and the jihadists of IE in the very complex conflict in Syria.

American strikes against the positions of the EI launched on August 8 in northern Iraq, which France joined Friday had slowed the advance jihad and helped the Iraqi and Kurdish forces to take over certain sectors jihadists .

The video shows Gourdel Hervé Pierre, a guide 55, sitting on the floor flanked by two masked gunmen. "I leave it to Holland, president of the French state criminal, care to stop the attacks against the IU within 24 hours of the publication of this release or Hervé Gourdel be slaughtered," said one of the two men.
