Feel good story of the day.

The U.S. military has conducted three airstrikes on ISIS fighters in Libya over the course of eight days after not striking Libya for more than a year.

U.S. Africa Command (Africom) announced Friday that it conducted an airstrike Thursday targeting ISIS fighters in southwest Libya.

Seventeen alleged militants were killed, according to a news release. Africom believes no civilians were killed or injured, the release added.

“This ongoing campaign against ISIS-Libya demonstrates that U.S. Africa Command persistently targets terrorist networks that seek to harm innocent Libyans,” Navy Rear Adm. Heidi Berg, director of intelligence for Africom, said in a statement.  “We will continue to pursue ISIS-Libya and other terrorists in the region, denying them safe haven to coordinate and plan operations in Libya.”
