The US Air Force has dropped 40 tons of laser-guided bombs on what it called an 'ISIS infested island' in Iraq 

F-15 and F-35 jets were used to bomb Qanus Island, which sits in the middle of the Tigris River in central Iraq, in order to destroy hiding places for jihadi fighters. 

Colonel Myles B Caggins, spokesman for Operation Joint Resolve, tweeted: 'Here’s what it looks like when US Air Force F15 and F35 jets drop 36,000 kg of bombs on a Daesh infested island.'

There is little point in bombing back to the middle ages a group of people who have enthusiastically embraced the middle ages as a lifestyle choice!

 

Nor does bombing the living daylights out of a barren island achieve much against a dug in enemy, who doesn't require or possess modern technology or infrastructure. How many times has that been tried and failed (by the US) in the last 50 years?
