Just unloading bombs over a city of 400 000 people will not drive away those Daesh leaders and families. The attacks on them must have been pretty accurate and were probably executed with cruise missiles. Those bomb loads were probably released on oil installations and larger military objects.

Not disagreeing one bit but if I remember the Taliban were not happy when the big guys showed up and even less happy after they left we could have done that a long time ago and the northern alliance and our own ground forces didn't mind them at just as I'm sure the Kurds and other allies would either
The Russians wouldn't want casualties among the civilian population and say they are proud to be more careful than US in this respect. They point to the recent attack on the Kunduz hospital as an example of how not to act.
haha, apperantly I have a very short memory, sign of aging.
But that may be why the word came to my mind so quick.
Revenge for the hospital treatment of enemy warriors is a war crime. I hope they have a less insane explanation. If it is a war crime the guilty ones will have to be prosecuted.

if isis army is big enough, they (isis) can hardly ignore a huge military camp just north of their capital (yellow perimeter) for a number (of obvious) reasons.
which is exactly the target for a carpet bombing.
space and air recc are enough to provide credible info in this case.
targets like command, control, communications, intel sites within the city are small enough and require agents on the ground and precision weapons, like cruise msls or guided bombs.
