US-led airstrikes have failed to slow the number of so-called "Daesh" ["ISIL"] attacks in Syria and Iraq, according to data provided exclusively to NBC News.

US-Led Airstrikes Fail to Slow "ISIL" Attacks: Data Provided to NBC

According to the data provided exclusively to NBC News, the number of attacks conducted by the terrorists is now soaring even more than before.

"The airstrikes certainly aren't impairing their ability to intensify their attacks or carry out their campaign," said Matthew Henman, head of the JTIC.

Henman stressed that "Daesh" is almost certainly responsible for far more violence than the JTIC database can attribute to the group as a result of stringent methodology and verification requirements.
"They're doing far more than we're able to ... give them credit for," he said.

He said that the extremist group now has an ability to "intensify and de-intensify their operational tempo at will".

"Instead of there being limitations forced on them by airstrikes, they're the ones that are still calling the shots. It's them that's dictating the pace, instead of vice versa," he added.

Following the capturing of the Iraqi city of Mosul on June 10, "Daesh" extremists increased their attacks and have been continued further since the US began its air campaign in August.
US warplanes have been conducting airstrikes in Iraq since early August.
Some Western states have also participated in the strikes in Iraq.
