Canada commenced military airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria as part of the international coalition effort to combat the terrorist group. The decision was made following a request for assistance from the Iraqi government to help push back ISIS militants who had seized large areas of Iraq. The airstrikes aimed to degrade ISIS capabilities, disrupt their movements, and ultimately weaken their hold on the region. Canada's involvement included deploying fighter jets, refueling aircraft, and surveillance planes to conduct targeted airstrikes against ISIS targets. The decision to participate in the airstrikes was met with mixed reactions domestically, with some supporting the government's commitment to combating terrorism, while others raised concerns about the potential escalation of violence and the risk of civilian casualties. The airstrikes marked a significant escalation of Canada's military involvement in the region, further solidifying its commitment to the fight against ISIS and supporting stability in the Middle East. #Canada #Airstrikes #ISIS #Iraq #Syria #Terrorism
