U.S. Airstrikes in Syria Kill 37 Militants, Including Senior Leaders

The strikes targeted ISIS and al-Qaeda-affiliated groups, aiming to disrupt terrorist operations against U.S. interests.

Two U.S. airstrikes in Syria this month resulted in the deaths of 37 militants, including several high-ranking leaders.
The first strike on September 16 targeted an ISIS training camp in central Syria, killing 28 militants, including four senior leaders.
A second strike on September 24 in northwestern Syria killed nine members of Hurras al-Din, an al-Qaeda-affiliated group, including their military commander Marwan Bassam.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) emphasized that the airstrikes are part of ongoing efforts to prevent terrorist attacks against U.S. and allied interests.
There were no civilian casualties reported in either of the airstrikes, according to CENTCOM.
