A US official has revealed more details about the recent airstrikes carried out by US forces in central Syria. The strikes, which took place on Sunday, specifically targeted 'ISIS leaders, operatives, and camps' using a variety of Air Force assets, including B-52 bombers, F-15 fighter jets, and A-10 aircraft.
The official stated that these airstrikes were part of the ongoing mission to disrupt, degrade, and defeat ISIS. The goal is to prevent the terrorist group from carrying out external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not exploit the current situation in central Syria to regroup.
According to the official, assessments of the damage caused by the strikes are currently underway, and there have been no reports of civilian casualties. The official also emphasized that CENTCOM, along with regional allies and partners, will continue to conduct operations to weaken ISIS's operational capabilities, even amidst the evolving situation in central Syria.
President Joe Biden also affirmed on Sunday that the US is committed to maintaining its anti-ISIS efforts in the country.
