Typhoons, Tornados, and unmanned Reaper drones launch fresh bombing raids against Islamic State as Defence Secretary Michael Fallon tells RAF crews they have the backing of "the people of Britain"
RAF fighter jets have targeted an oilfield held by Isil in the second combat mission from the British base in Cyprus.
Michael Fallon, the Defence Secretary, said Typhoon jets were used on Friday night, alongside unmanned Reaper drones and Tornados, as the terrorists were made to feel "the full force of the RAF".
Selling oil to the black market as well as the Assad regime has been a key source of finance for the terrorists.
The latest RAF operations were intended to damage the supply of funds to the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isil), also known as Daesh.
Mr Fallon arrived at the Akrotiri base in Cyprus to thank the crews for their "impressive" service and assure them they have the backing of "the people of Britain".

The full force of a gnat is not distinguishable from the pinprick of a wasp.
Why would the Assad regime buy oil from people they are supposed to be fighting?
Obama couldn’t bomb the oil fields because of Global Warming.
“Damn the collateral damage. Full speed ahead!!!”
At least they are doing SOMETHING.
I think that the only way ISIS is going to be combatted in the US is on the ground by citizens.
Unless someone gets elected this fall who will actually do something about the muslim threat, it’s going to be in our hands to take care of the problem.
Fortunately, we aren’t the disarmed populace that many places in the rest of the world are, especially Europe. Although I do hear that guns sales are through the roof over there, and guns simply cannot be had there’s such a demand.
$$$$$$$
It’s always about money and power.
Hardly full force.
Usual political rhetoric.
60m guns in Europe (legal), 19m in France. 4.1m in UK.
Are they targeting jihadis or sand?
Baraq’s busy delivering a mighty rebuke to carbon-criminals everywhere.

Go, RAF! Kill them all.
Full Force means nothing. We need to be informed on the actual damage done. Hopefully the RAF willbomb everything they can. It is a shame there is no report. Obama has been claiming to bomb ISIS for several months. Nothing has been damaged. There are no reports of the bombings. Either OB is dropping bombs in the desert or he is faking the entire matter.
I wouldn’t put either one past him.
That's not a bombing.
Now . . .
This! is a bombing . . .
Not exactly what “Bomber” Harris would have done, now is it?
Eaxactly......
Oil.
