A total of 51 ISIS militants were killed in the last 24 hours as part of Turkey-backed Operation Euphrates Shield in northern Syria, the Turkish military announced Saturday.
Turkish General Staff said in a statement that four of the neutralized were also so-called "regional heads" of the ISIS group in the Al-Bab and Bzagah regions, Turkey's Anadolu Agency reported.
On the 165th day of the operation, international coalition forces conducted eight airstrikes on ISIS targets in Al-Bab and destroyed two defensive positions and two armed vehicles.
Turkish fighter jets also hit 65 ISIS targets and destroyed 56 buildings and three headquarters, the statement added.
