The war against terror contines. Although the Islamic State (ISIS) has ceased to pose an existential threat in the Middle East, the US-led coalition continues to pound ISIS targets with airstrikes. To be sure, the monthly number of airstrikes has dropped significantly from past years. The Air Force Magazine reported that in November 2018, the Coalition conducted 1,424 airstrikes; in November 2019, 153 airstrikes; and in November 2020, 14 airstrikes. Nowadays, Coalition aircraft mainly target weapon cashes and high-value targets. Between August 2014 and September 2020, the Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) had launched almost 35,000 airstrikes against the terrorist group in Iraq and Syria. But the pressure comes from all fronts. According to CJTF-OIR, in December, Coalition forces conducted 55 ground operations against ISIS both in Iraq and Syria, killing or detaining 31 medium- and low-level leaders and 56 fighters.
