VIDEO: NAF Jets Attack Terrorists’ Base at Izza
The intensive air strikes being conducted under the auspices of
Operation GREEN SWEEP 3 have yielded more successes as the Air Task
Force (ATF) of Operation LAFIYA DOLE, on 9 August 19, decimated a
major tactical base of the Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) and
neutralized scores of their fighters at Izza on the fringes of the
Sambisa Forest in Borno State. The location was designated for
attack after series of Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance
(ISR) missions had established that the location was being used as
a staging area from where the BHT elements launch their
attacks.
Consequently, the ATF scrambled 3 Alpha Jet aircraft to attack
the location, with the timing synchronized to inflict maximum
damage and mortality on the terrorists. As a result, there was
massive devastation on the affected target while scores of
terrorists were killed in the process.
The NAF, operating in concert with surface forces, will sustain
its efforts to completely destroy all remnants of the terrorists in
the Northeast.
