President Donald Trump has ordered precision military airstrikes on an ISIS target in Somalia, marking the first such action during his second term in office. The decision was announced by President Trump in a post on social media on Saturday.
In his statement, President Trump revealed that the airstrikes were aimed at the Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia. The operation targeted the terrorists who were found hiding in caves and posed a threat to the United States and its allies.
The airstrikes successfully destroyed the caves where the terrorists were hiding and resulted in the elimination of many terrorists, with no harm done to civilians. President Trump emphasized that the military had been targeting the ISIS Attack Planner for years, but previous administrations had not acted swiftly enough to address the threat.
President Trump's message to ISIS and other potential threats was clear: 'WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU.' The White House has refrained from providing further comments beyond the President's social media post. A White House official mentioned that the Defense Department would release additional details at an appropriate time.
The decision to conduct airstrikes on the ISIS target in Somalia underscores the Trump administration's commitment to combating terrorism and protecting American interests. The successful operation serves as a warning to those who seek to harm Americans that they will be pursued and eliminated.
