沙特阿拉伯一直在參加美國爲首的聯軍對敘利亞境內伊斯蘭國組織的空中打擊行動。

Since late September, U.S. and Saudi forces, along with those from Jordan, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, have conducted more than 600 airstrikes targeting the militants who took over large areas in Syria and Iraq.

去年9月以來，美國、沙特阿拉伯以及約旦、巴林和阿聯酋等國對奪取了敘利亞和伊拉克大片地區的極端分子進行了600多次空襲。
