U.S. Launches New Strikes on ISIS in Syria, Second in Less Than a Month

The strikes are part of a Trump-authorized operation responding to the December killing of U.S. personnel.

Overview

  • U.S. Central Command said aircraft hit multiple Islamic State targets across Syria.
  • The military has not disclosed precise locations or any casualty figures.
  • The action falls under an operation President Trump approved after two U.S. soldiers and a U.S. interpreter were killed in December.
  • CENTCOM reported the attacks occurred at about 12:30 p.m. U.S. time on January 10.
  • The campaign proceeds with roughly 1,000 U.S. troops in Syria and with relations normalizing with President Ahmed al Sharaa, who has pledged to fight ISIS.
