US strikes suspected ISIS sites in Syria

The U.S. launched major airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria, responding to the deaths of two soldiers killed in a recent attack. Fighter jets and helicopters targeted multiple Islamic State sites, including weapon storage areas. The strikes, described as "a massive attack," signal a military escalation amid a reduced U.S. presence in Syria.

The soldiers were killed during a counterterrorism operation in Palmyra. The attack highlights the ongoing threat posed by the Islamic State, which is attempting to exploit the post-Assad security vacuum.
