(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) The White House said it has seen "some intensification" of Russian air strikes against the Daesh terrorist group during the past several weeks.
White House deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters late Monday, that Russia previously had infrequently targeted Daesh in its campaign in Syria.
The vast majority of Russian airstrikes have targeted areas contested by U.S. backed rebels, while relatively few have hit Daesh territory in Raqqah, Dayr az Zawr, and east of Aleppo, he added.
