DAMASCUS/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – The United States military says it has killed 12 fighters of the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, in Syria amid concerns it will carve out a caliphate in central areas of the country.
In a statement seen by Worthy News on Tuesday, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said U.S. strikes hit ISIS leaders, operatives, and camps.
The attacks were part of attempts to “disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS, preventing the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek opportunities to reconstitute in central Syria,” CENTCOM added.
Monday’s strikes reportedly took place in “former regime and Russian-controlled areas,” and CENTCOM pledged that pressure continues to be maintained on ISIS.
CENTCOM added there were no civilian casualties in the latest attacks.
SECOND STRIKE
The military action was the second known U.S. strike since December 8, when Islamic rebels toppled longtime Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad.
Last week, the U.S. Air Force carried out a strike in Syria using multiple aircraft, including B-52 bombers, F-15 fighter jets, and A-10 attack jets in areas that were previously off-limits to U.S. aircraft.
The U.S. has at least 900 service members and other contractors still operating in Syria, as well as 2,500 in Iraq as part of an international coalition against Islamic extremists.
Since the fall of Damascus, ISIS cells have sought to take advantage of the chaotic vacuum in Syria by carrying out hit-and-run attacks and gaining territories in the desert.
Washington hopes its strikes will help to prevent such violence in the future.
