Jordan says it has carried out 56 air strikes in three days on Islamic State logistics sites and hideouts.
"We achieved what we aimed at," Air Force chief Gen Mansour al-Jbour said.
Jordan intensified its strikes after captured pilot Moaz al-Kasasbeh was shown being burned alive by the IS.
Jordan has carried out nearly 20% of all sorties by the US-led coalition against IS in Syria so far, Gen Jbour said, adding: "We are determined to wipe them from the face of the Earth."
IS seized control of large areas of Iraq and Syria last year, prompting hundreds of raids by coalition war planes.
The focus of Jordan's air strikes is reported to be Raqqa, the IS stronghold in Syria, but no specifics were given.
Gen Jbour said the strikes had degraded nearly 20% of the militants' capabilities.

I wish America would load up the Jordanian Air Force with napalm. It would be outstanding to see these ISIS bastards being toasted alive.
The enemy must be wiped out 100%.
If so...what have we been waiting for?
Fox News Channel is on this...this morning,.
I’ve wondered a couple of things.
How was Jordan able to wipe out their hideouts in such short order and America and its so-called coalition could not?
How could they launch 56 air strikes in 3 days and nobody else could carry this out?
This makes me wonder if there is deliberate delaying. Is this commander-in-chief stalling, warning the enemy, dithering and intentionally not coming down hard on these savages?
That is a brilliant idea - 200,000 eyes for an eye....
Air Jordan - It kinda has a nice ring to it.
The answer is a 4 letter word — I R A N.
Destroying ISIS means that the Shite Iran wins, which no Sunni Arab country would want.
I doubt there’s much hand wringing over target selection, which is something the US has done since Vietnam.
Remember Korea?
LOL! Not bad at all.
Not quite that old, but I remember reading something to that effect.
Oh no. Obama is choosing the targets? No military experience, no brains, and he’s outright stated that he would side with muslims if push came to shove....that explains it. He’s losing intentionally.
I sure hope they don’t break any rules of engagement!
If we run it Obama will start the ROE crap again.
>He’s losing intentionally.<
.
Do his military commanders know this?
If so, one must wonder whose side they’re on.
