US EditionUS conducts strikes in Syria in response to attack that killed two American soldiers
- On Friday, U.S. forces struck multiple targets across central Syria in retaliation for a recent attack that killed two American soldiers, with strikes reported from Deir ez-Zor to Palmyra and Raqqa.
- The Dec. 13 ambush in Palmyra killed two Iowa National Guard members and American civilian interpreter Ayad Mansoor Sakat, while U.S. officials say ISIS attribution remains unclear.
- U.S. fighter jets, attack helicopters, and HIMARS systems, supported by Jordanian F-16s, destroyed more than 130 mortars and rockets during the strikes, more than 70 targets by about 2:15 a.m.
- Officials framed the strikes as a sharp escalation while about 1,000 U.S. troops in Syria build on nearly 80 missions since July, targeting `ISIS fighters, infrastructure, and weapons sites`, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said.
- The Pentagon named the mission Operation Hawkeye in honor of the slain soldiers from Iowa, CENTCOM opened an investigation, and partner raids provided intelligence refining strike targets.
