The US along with Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia .... have started bombing ISIS targets in Syria. Reports indicate that the targets included command and control centers, training camps, and weapons depots. The Syrian government was not notified that these airstrikes would happen today.
Apparently the Ar-Raqqah Governor's building, the headquarters of ISIS, was destroyed in these airstrikes on Monday (see below video of the attack).
ISIS has apparently instructed its fighters to leave their headquarters in ar-Raqqah and to flee into the rural areas.
As to what's my take of the situation .... we are now directly involved in Syria's sectarian civil war.
