RAF blast ISIS hideouts and pick off jihadis on motorbikes

Britain has stepped up its airstrikes in the war-torn country since the Paris massacre that killed 130.

The RAF has dropped bombs on ISIS – also known as Daesh – almost every day since.

Over the past week alone, the RAF have conducted 13 airstrikes in Iraq, British defences revealed.

The shocking images of reaper drones bombing ISIS-held homes as well as motorbike jihadis feature in videos today released by the Ministry of Defence.

They came as politicians waited to vote on whether to bomb ISIS stronghold Syria.

According to the Ministry of Defence, Thursday 26 November was a particularly brutal day.

British forces blitzed ISIS snipers spotted by the Reaper drones that monitor Iraqi skies daily, the RAF said.

A remotely piloted chopper successfully guided a GBU-12 bomb to destroy a terrorist-held house later that day.

Meanwhile, Brits came to the rescue when Kurdish forces were rained on in ISIS machine-gun fire before an RAF drone fleet cornered – and eliminated – the terrorists.

Friday, November 27 brought more conflict, as forces foiled another terrorist-held building as well as a booby-trapped petrol bomb – both swiftly destroyed by drones.

A Tornado patrol conducted four air-strikes over Ramadi and Haditha, destroying another car bomb and more Daesh-held buildings on Sunday.

Two motorbike-bound jihadis were spotted attempting to plant a makeshift bomb and blasted with a Brimstone missile later that day, defence chiefs added.

The clashes came to a head on Monday when UK's GR4 drones were once again in action, supporting Kurdish forces south of Sinjar.

Three of the opposition's heavy machine guns were spotted and struck by Paveway IVs.

Details of a week in the life of the British forces in Iraq came as Prime Minister David Cameron continued to rally MPs to say yes to similar airstrikes in Syria.

The vote will be conducted at 10pm tonight.

If the majority vote yes, Britain will have ten tornado aircraft to deploy armed with Brimstone missiles and Paveway IV guided bombs.
