US hits dozens of ISIS targets in Syria — in retaliatory strikes for killing of 2 American soldiers


The US conducted large-scale airstrikes against multiple ISIS targets in Syria in the continued retaliation for the killing of two US soldiers — capturing or killing 50 ISIS terrorists, US military officials announced Saturday. This marked the third round of retaliatory air strikes avenging the ambush attack, with the US lighting up more than 70 ISIS targets in Syria on Dec. 19, less than a week after the killings. “The strikes today targeted ISIS throughout Syria as part of our ongoing commitment to root out Islamic terrorism against our warfighters, prevent future attacks, and protect American and partner forces in the region,” US Central Command warned in a post on X last month.
