U.S. forces on Friday struck several ISIS targets in Syria after President Trump vowed revenge for the killing of two Iowa National Guard soldiers.
The airstrikes on ISIS targets are being conducted in response to the killing of two U.S. Army soldiers and an civilian contractor by a lone terrorist in Palmyra, Syria.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights tells AFP that “at least five members of the Islamic State group were killed” in US strikes overnight in eastern Syria’s Deir Ezzor province, including the leader of a cell responsible for drones in the area. The strikes were in response to a deadly ISIS attack on American troops in the country last weekend.
