There is no verification that the fighter jet dropped any bombs, with others questioning why he would have his navigation lights blinking during a bombing mission.

It comes after news that Turkish armed forces and allied Syrian fighters have seized near full control of the key town of Al Bab in northern Syria from ISIL.

"It's been a long time since we came to Al Bab but today we can say that near complete control has been taken of Al Bab and the city centre has been entered," Turkish Defence Minister Fikri Isik said on Thursday.
