US airstrikes in Syria kill up to 35 Islamic State militants
The U.S. military conducted airstrikes in Syria this week, targeting Islamic State camps and killing up to 35 militants, according to U.S. Central Command. The strikes occurred on Monday evening in central Syria. These attacks aimed at disrupting the group's operations and leadership. They follow recent strikes in Iraq and highlight the ongoing threat posed by the Islamic State, despite its reduced power compared to a decade ago. U.S. Central Command reported no civilian casualties from the strikes. The military continues to monitor the situation as it seeks to limit the group's ability to conduct attacks in the region.
