US & Allies Launch 'Large-Scale' Strikes on ISIS in Syria After Deadly Attack

  • US and allied forces conducted "large-scale" strikes against Islamic State targets in Syria.
  • The strikes were a direct response to a December 13 attack in Palmyra that killed three Americans.
  • Operation Hawkeye Strike targeted ISIS throughout Syria, as confirmed by US Central Command.
  • This is not the first strike; the US and Jordan previously hit ISIS targets a month prior.
  • The Palmyra attack was the first such incident since Bashar al-Assad's overthrow in December 2024.

Why It Matters: US and allies retaliate with major strikes against ISIS in Syria following a deadly attack on Americans.
