Turkish military aircraft bombed Islamic States (IS) targets on the side of Syria near the southern Turkish province of Kilis early Friday morning, local media reported.

In the operation, three F-16 fighters took off from an air base in southeastern Turkey, bombed three IS targets on Syrian territory for five minutes, and then flew back, according to private NTV news channel.

The air strikes came after Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu held a security meeting here on Thursday night. Endi
