US Conducts Large-Scale Strikes Against ISIS Targets in Syria Over Deadly Attack on Americans.
The US military has carried out additional large-scale strikes against multiple ISIS targets in Syria, in response to an attack last month that killed three American soldiers. The retaliatory airstrikes were announced by the US Central Command (CENTCOM) as part of Operation Hawkeye Strike, a campaign launched in response to the December 13 deadly attack on two American soldiers and a U.S. civilian interpreter in Palmyra, Syria.
According to CENTCOM, the strikes were carried out at approximately 12:30 pm ET Saturday and involved US allies, although their names have not been disclosed. The operation targeted ISIS throughout Syria as part of the ongoing effort to root out Islamic terrorism against American warfighters, prevent future attacks, and protect American and partner forces in the region.
The strikes come amid a growing threat from ISIS, which has carried out numerous deadly attacks on US forces in recent months. The group's actions have led to a significant escalation of military operations in Syria, with the US and its coalition partners working tirelessly to disrupt and degrade ISIS's ability to carry out terrorist activities.
In a statement released by CENTCOM, officials said that "U.S. and coalition forces remain resolute in pursuing terrorists who seek to harm the United States." The operation is part of a broader effort to restore stability and security in Syria, which has been plagued by civil war and terrorism for years.
The strikes are also seen as a demonstration of US resolve and commitment to defending its interests in the Middle East. As tensions between the US and Iran remain high, the US military's actions in Syria serve as a reminder of its willingness to take decisive action against threats to national security.
