General defends air war against IS as effective and precise
In a Pentagon briefing, Air Force Lt. Gen. John W Hesterman III rejected claims the air campaign is timid or killing few civilians. He said bombs have tied down Islamic State fighters, killing more than 1,000 militants monthly while avoiding civilian casualties. He cited Hawija strikes and a vehicle-borne bomb facility, though casualty details remain unverified.
