US military says it struck Islamic State camps in Syria
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe US military says it conducted a series of airstrikes against multiple camps in Syria belonging to the Islamic State group.
The US Central Command says the strikes will “disrupt the ability of ISIS to plan, organize and conduct attacks against the United States, its allies and partners, and civilians throughout the region and beyond.”
It says battle damage assessments are underway and do not include civilian casualties.
There are some 900 US forces in Syria, along with an undisclosed number of contractors, mostly trying to prevent any comeback by the extremist IS group, which swept through Iraq and Syria in 2014, taking control of large swaths of territory.
