US EditionTwo U.S. Soldiers, American Civilian Interpreter Killed in Attack in Syria
The ambush by a lone Islamic State gunman killed two U.S. soldiers and one civilian interpreter, wounding three others during counterterrorism operations, U.S. Central Command said.
- On Dec. 13, U.S. Central Command said two U.S. service members and one U.S. civilian interpreter were killed and three U.S. service members wounded in an ambush near Palmyra, central Syria.
- Soldiers were on a joint US‑Syrian field tour in Palmyra, supporting counter‑ISIS efforts after Damascus recently joined the coalition, according to officials.
- Helicopters evacuated the wounded to the al‑Tanf garrison near the Iraq‑Jordan border, and CENTCOM and Pentagon said the gunman was engaged and killed while the Pentagon withholds victim identities under the 24‑hour victim notification policy.
- President Donald Trump vowed retaliation after the attack and said the incident targeted both the United States and Syria, while U.S. defense officials warned attackers would be pursued and the incident is under active investigation.
- Accounts diverge over the shooter's affiliation, with SOHR calling him a security member and SANA and Syrian Interior Ministry linking him to IS, while the UN says ISIS has 5,000 to 7,000 fighters.
