US Launches Massive Strikes on ISIS in Syria
Damascus — U.S. forces conducted "Operation Hawkeye Strike," hitting over 70 ISIS targets across central Syria on December 19. The retaliation followed a December 13 ISIS attack that killed two U.S. troops and an interpreter in Palmyra. Strikes involved fighter jets, A-10 Warthogs, Apache helicopters, HIMARS rockets, and Jordanian support, per CENTCOM. At least five ISIS fighters were killed, with drone cells and infrastructure dismantled. President Donald J. Trump hailed the operation as a "great success," vowing no safe havens for terrorists.

Syrian government welcomed the strikes, denying support for terrorists. Analysts note bolstered U.S. deterrence in the region amid broader threats. What questions do you have?
