00:13

The U.S. military on Friday launched large-scale strikes on dozens of Islamic State targets across central Syria in retaliation for an attack in Palmyra that killed two U.S. soldiers and a civilian interpreter.

"U.S. forces commenced OPERATION HAWKEYE STRIKE in Syria to eliminate ISIS fighters, infrastructure and weapons sites in direct response to the attack on U.S. forces that occurred on December 13 in Palmyra, Syria," U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth posted on X, using the acronym for the jihadist group.
