U.S. Launches Large-Scale Strikes on ISIS Targets Across Syria

The strikes mark a new phase in the partnered campaign against ISIS with results still unconfirmed.

Overview

  • CENTCOM announced on X that U.S. forces carried out coordinated attacks against multiple ISIS sites across Syria in response to a December 13 killing of two American service members and a translator near Palmyra.
  • The operations were conducted with partner forces, and Jordan said it participated as part of the U.S.-led coalition.
  • CENTCOM did not release casualty or battle-damage figures, saying assessments were still in progress.
  • The latest action follows earlier raids announced in late December that targeted ISIS strongholds with Jordanian support.
  • The campaign continues as the Pentagon’s previously announced plan to halve the U.S. troop presence in Syria leaves current personnel numbers undisclosed.
