Britain and France carried out a joint airstrike on Saturday evening, targeting a suspected underground arms cache linked to the Daesh group in Syria. The operation focused on a facility in the mountains north of Palmyra, identified through intelligence as a storage site for weapons and explosives. According to Britain's defense ministry, guided bombs were used to strike access tunnels to the facility, with initial reports indicating the mission was successful and no civilian presence in the area. The air forces' patrols are part of ongoing efforts to prevent the resurgence of the militant group, which previously controlled parts of Syria until 2019. British officials emphasized their commitment to working with allies to counter extremist threats in the region.
