Canada's ISIS bomb attack destroyed heavy engineering equipment
Canadian fighter jets helped to destroy heavy engineering equipment that was being used to divert the Euphrates River to flood areas nearby while denying water to Iraqi civilians further away, Lt.-Gen. Jonathan Vance said Tuesday, according to CBC News.
Vance, the head of Canadian military operations, said Canadian aircraft have flown 27 operations in the fight against ISIS, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (also known as ISIL), with the fighter jets flying 18 of those.
In one case, the Canadian Aurora surveillance aircraft participated in "the destruction of a key ISIL base," Vance said.
