By Suleiman Al-Khalidi AMMAN (Reuters) - Jordanian air force jets bombed the hideouts of Islamic State militants in Syria on Thursday, State television said, resuming the intensified raids that it first launched last week in retaliation for the killing of a pilot. King Abdullah has vowed to avenge the burning to death of pilot Mouath al-Kasaesbeh by Islamic State and has ordered his commanders to prepare for a bigger military role in the U.S.-led coalition fighting the militants in both Syria and Iraq. "Daesh" is a derogative term for the militants. The raids are the first the Jordanian military have an**unced since three straight days of aerial bombing that ended last Saturday.
