US launches attack against ISIS in Syria

U.S. forces carried out airstrikes against ISIS in Syria, Fox News reported, citing unnamed officials. The strikes come weeks after an ISIS-affiliated gunman ambushed and killed two Iowa National Guard members and a U.S. civilian interpreter. They also follow U.S. Special Envoy Tom Barrack’s meeting in Damascus with Syria’s new leadership, which he discussed on X, highlighting ongoing support through Operation Inherent Resolve and the SDF. U.S. Central Command recently detailed 11 missions after December 19 strikes on 70 targets, saying at least seven ISIS members were killed and four weapons caches destroyed.
