The coalition has conducted precision airstrikes on five IS financial centers over the past two weeks, including three in Abu Kamal and Deir Ez-Zor of Syria and two in Hawija and Al-Mukana of Iraq, according to the Pentagon. The attacks sought to prevent the terrorist organization from using the resources to pay for fighters and fund terrorism worldwide.
The US-led forces have intensified airstrikes recently, targeting the positions of the IS group in its main stronghold of Raqqa in Syria.
