I must be missing something here.
What possible harm can the press be doing by stating the RAF are joining in?
The press are notorious for getting aircraft types wrong, and many journalists couldn't tell one weapon from another.....
Unlike the ISIS watchers who WILL be detailing every EXACT movement, departure time and weapon load which will then be relayed onwards.
Even if the aircraft fly off in a direction to confuse onlookers this doesn't work more than once or twice, as has been identified when attacking aircraft have done this in the past two decades.
IMHO its a bit odd to think that a very large group like ISIS who can capture large areas, run international media ops and
PR and have many tech savvy members in the group wouldn't know how to watch an airfield
