Air strikes are military operations where aircraft are used to attack ground targets. These strikes can involve various types of munitions, including bombs and missiles, and are often aimed at enemy positions, infrastructure, or specific threats. Air strikes are typically conducted by the armed forces of a nation or coalition and can be part of larger military campaigns. The effectiveness of air strikes depends on factors such as intelligence, precision, and the type of aircraft used. They are often employed in conflicts involving groups like ISIS or during operations to support ground troops. However, air strikes can also lead to civilian casualties and damage to non-military infrastructure.
