The Royal Air Force (RAF) recently attacked ISIS sites. They used bases in Cyprus for this. The mission hit a hidden place for weapons. It was near a city called Palmyra. This shows the British bases in Cyprus are important. The RAF wants to stop bad ideas.
Four RAF planes flew on Saturday night. Another plane gave them fuel in the air. The UK government said they used special bombs. These bombs stopped people from getting into the secret place. The RAF has watched Syria since 2019. They do not want ISIS to return.
A leader named John Healey said the UK is in charge. He said this shows UK leadership. They will work with friends. They want to stop ISIS and their bad ideas. Good information helped them hit the target. Planes from France also helped. This shows friends working together.
Cyprus is a good place for these missions. The UK made its bases stronger there. The bases are now very helpful. They help the UK show its power. The mission was good. No people were hurt.
The RAF has flown over Syria for years. This stopped ISIS from getting bigger. The recent attacks from Cyprus show the UK is serious. Cyprus is good for getting information. It is also good for starting attacks. The bases in Cyprus are important for UK defence.
