在一次针对极端组织伊斯兰国的军事行动中,联军一架飞机在叙利亚境内被击落,飞行员被伊斯兰国武装分子抓获。

约旦军队星期三发表的声明要求伊斯兰国武装分子对这名飞行员的生命和安全负责。

设在英国的人权组织叙利亚人权嘹望早些时候说,伊斯兰国武装分子在拉卡附近击落了这架飞机。拉卡是伊斯兰国武装分子的主要基地。伊斯兰国今年早些时候占领了叙利亚东部和伊拉克西北部的大片地区。

约旦、巴林、沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋都参加了由美国领导的针对叙利亚境内的伊斯兰国的空中打击行动。美国国防部表示,截至12月15日,联军已经在叙利亚境内进行了553次空袭。

Islamic State militants have captured a Jordanian pilot whose plane was shot down in Syria during a combat mission against the extremist group.

The Jordanian army said in a statement Wednesday that it is holding the militants responsible for the pilot's life and safety.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported earlier that Islamic State forces shot the plane down near Raqqa. The city is the main stronghold for the militants, who seized large areas in eastern Syria and northern and western Iraq earlier this year.

Jordan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are all taking part in the U.S.-led air campaign against the Islamic State group in Syria.

According to the Department of Defense, as of December 15, the coalition has conducted 553 airstrikes in Syria.
