The strikes against the ISIS leaders, operatives, and camps were conducted as part of the ongoing mission to disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS, in order to prevent the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek to take advantage of the current situation to reconstitute in central Syria.

The operation struck over 75 targets using multiple U.S. Air Force assets, including B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s. Battle damage assessments are underway, and there are no indications of civilian casualties.

    The US is gonna remind the world why you can't afford to do their bidding, even if you're getting paid to do their dirty work. Can't compromise your national security even for a few days, the genocidal ghouls keep their finger on the trigger at all times.
