"Daesh" is a designated terrorist group that has captured large areas of land in Syria and Iraq, where it proclaimed a caliphate. The terror group is outlawed in Russia, the United States and in several other countries.
Since 2014, the US-led anti-terrorist coalition, which includes the United Kingdom, has been conducting airstrikes on IS positions.
