US airstrikes have been launched targeting several oil refineries in Syria with an attempt of striking down the extremist group's financial supply.
The ISIS militants continue with their terroristic operations and even plans on broadening their scope by recruiting more fighters. There are already numerous reports saying that the world's wealthiest terrorist group is trying to attract more fighters to join them and that does not just focus to Syrians and Iraqis since its recruitment have already spread world and is already open to foreign nationals. It is with the group's acquired wealth that they are actually able to operate and execute their acts of terrorism.
With an attempt of destroying the ISIS extremists, the US recently campaigned an airstrike targeting the area where the group relies on in terms of their financial supply. It is not just the United States that launched the operation since they were also joined by other five Arab partners. The decision of striking down numerous oil refineries in Syria came since the terrorist groups gain their financial wealth from the said money-generating facilities.
Drones and warplanes coming from the US and its allied forces are said to be determined when it comes to disrupting the economic support that the extremist group have brought by the money they are making out from the said oil refineries. About 14 ISIS fighters have been already killed from the said airstrike while a dozen of the said economic asset in Syria was also destroyed.
ISIS militants are able able to finance the recruitment process for more fighters as they raise more money from robberies, extortion, ransom and other criminal acts. They are also making money from oil smuggling which are from the 300-500 barrels costing up to $2 million produced in the said refineries. The airstrike launched by the US against the militants in Syria greatly aims to stop the movement of money to the group which could also freeze their terrorism operations.
