U.S. Military releases Videos of Airstrikes against ISIS (Includes Videos)

American and British warplanes continue to hunt down Islamic State militants as the terrorists attack more communities in Iraq and Syria.
U.S. Central Command released four videos Tuesday of recent strikes against the jihadists. The black-and-white videos show missiles destroying an ISIS-controlled building in the northeastern Syrian city of Al Hasakah and a weapons storage facility in Kobani, about 167 miles to the west, near the Turkish border.
Other footage captures direct hits against a tank and car at unspecified locations in Iraq.
Authorities say these types of strikes have helped Iraqi-Kurdish security forces run ISIS out of several town in northwestern Iraq, including Rabia, Zumar and Mahmoudiyah.
In response to the Western advances, the extremist group has reportedly restricted its social media, email and cellphone use.
ISIS apparently fears that American or British spy agencies will be able to track down the locations of their fighters by examining pictures posted online or metadata of their communications, reported The Times of London.
"The announcement certainly appeared to be official and it gained solid traction across the IS and pro-Islamic State (IS) camps shortly after being published," Charles Lister, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Doha Center, told the London paper.
