US Says It Launched 10 More Strikes in Syria, Finished Transferring ISIS Detainees to Iraq
US Central Command said on Saturday that its forces launched an additional 10 strikes against ISIS in Syria from February 3 to February 12, an announcement that came after US forces withdrew from a key base in southern Syria.
“US forces struck ISIS infrastructure and weapons storage targets with precision munitions delivered by fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aircraft,” CENTCOM said in a press release.
The command said the attacks were part of “Operation Haweye Strike,” a military operation it launched against ISIS following the December 13 attack in Palmyra, central Syria, which killed three Americans, though the gunman was a member of the US-backed Syrian government’s security forces.
