American and partner forces launched attacks on the targets of the muslim State (IS, formerly ISIS) across Syria in consequence to the December fatal attack, declared Central Command of the United States.
US forces carried out an attack as part of Operation Hawkeye Strikes, launched on December 19 after an ambush close Palmyra, in which a jihad fighter killed 2 American soldiers and their interpreter and wounded 3 another soldiers.
According to CENTCOM's statement, the United States carried out ‘large scale attacks’ for many purposes of the muslim State throughout the country.
"Today's attacks were directed at ISIS across Syria as part of our permanent commitment to eradicate muslim terrorism against our soldiers, prevent future attacks and defend US and partner forces in the region" – informed CENTCOM.
It added that the operation was attended by an unspecified partner force.
Washington maintains in Syria about 1,000 soldiers, who, as US president Donald Trump said, are needed to fight jihadists, including the remains of the muslim State.
The Pentagon gradually reduced its presence in this country, closing 3 military bases last year.
Recent media reports have reported that Washington is considering sending personnel to the Damascus Air Base as part of Trump's efforts to grow cooperation with the fresh Syrian president Ahmad al-Sharaa, a erstwhile leader of the jihadist group.
Al-Sharaa, who overturned Syrian long-standing leader Bashar al-Assad in December 2024, committed to inclusive rule, but his governments are marked by spiritual violence.
In late December, there were fatal clashes between Syrian government forces and Kurd-led militias in Aleppo, forcing any 100,000 people to leave their homes.
The fighting ended with a ceasefire earlier this week..
