US airstrikes in Syria kill up to 35 ISIS militants in targeted operation

The U.S. military conducted airstrikes in central Syria this week, targeting Islamic State group camps and killing up to 35 militants, according to U.S. Central Command. The strikes occurred on Monday evening and aimed at multiple locations, including senior leaders of the group. These actions follow recent joint operations with Iraqi forces against IS militants in Iraq. U.S. officials noted that while the Islamic State remains a threat, it is less powerful than a decade ago.
