US Forces Conduct Series of Strikes Against ISIS in Syria

Kuwait city: US Central Command (CENTCOM) forces conducted 10 strikes against more than 30 ISIS targets in Syria.

According to Kuwait News Agency, CENTCOM mentioned in a press release that the strikes took place between February 3 and 12, aiming to sustain relentless military pressure on remnants from the terrorist network.

US forces targeted ISIS infrastructure and weapons storage facilities using precision munitions delivered by fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aircraft.

CENTCOM forces had previously carried out five strikes against an ISIS communication site, critical logistics node, and weapons storage facilities from January 27 to February 2.

Operation Hawkeye Strike was launched in response to a December 13 attack on US and Syrian forces in Palmyra. The ISIS ambush resulted in the deaths of two US service members and an American interpreter.
