(VOVworld)- The British Ministry of Defence said that two RAF Tornado jets are expected to mount their first attacks against Islamic State (Isis) targets in Iraq within hours of a Commons Vote on Friday.The jets, based in Cyprus, were out over Iraq on Wednesday night gathering intelligence in preparation for the attack – an exercise that has been ongoing in the past month. British special forces are already deployed to the region, primarily to gather intelligence and to help identify targets. They are liaising with the 190,000-strong Kurdish Peshmerga, the main force on the ground engaged against Isis in Iraq. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) is planning for an operation that will last for months as part of a US-led coalition that includes France, Saudi Arabia and Gulf states.
