The US carried out 330 airstrikes against the Islamic State in
Sirte, Libya between Aug. 1 and Oct. 18, according to data released by US Africa
Command. Nearly half of these (150) were launched during the first 18 days of
October. The figures indicate that the American air campaign has accelerated
in its third month as the US and its Libyan allies are still trying to eject
the Islamic State from the city.
