Two Canadian fighter jets struck an Islamic State weapons facility in Fallujah, Iraq on Sunday, 麻豆影视 has learned.

The CF-18 jets hit the ISIS weapons facilities with precision-guided munitions. These buildings function as production and storage facilities for improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which are commonly used by the militant group against Iraqi security forces.

鈥淪triking ISIL facilities disrupts their ability to plan and mount offensive attacks, while providing security to Iraqi security forces as they counter the immediate threat posed by ISIL,鈥� said the Department of National Defence (DND) in an email to 麻豆影视.

In a statement Monday,Maj.-Gen.Michael Hood denied a media report that members of the Canadian special forces were directly engaged in sniper activity targetingthe Islamic State. Hood clarified that members of the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command are providing Iraqi Security Forces with military training such as shooting, movement, communications, and mission planning.

鈥淢embers in Iraq are working within a well-defined mission that was passed in the House of Commons.  We have been clear that this mission does not involve ground troops in a combat role,鈥� said Hood.

Canada has committed to a six-month air campaign in support of the U.S.-led mission against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. While some allies are bombing the militant group in both countries, Canada is only involved in Iraq.

Canada has conducted 211 sorties as of Dec. 18, according to DND鈥檚 website:

  • 134 sorties conducted by CF-18 Hornet fighters.
  • 36 stories by CC-150 Polaris aerial refueller, delivering some 1,911,000 pounds of fuel to coalition aircraft.
  • 41 reconnaissance missions by the CP-140 Aurora aircraft.
