US military strikes 70 ISIS targets in central Syria

The U.S. military carried out overnight strikes on ISIS targets in central Syria, in response to the killing of two American soldiers and a U.S. civilian in a terror attack near Palmyra on December 13, the New York Times reported.

U.S. Central Command said more than 70 ISIS targets were hit in the operation, which also involved Jordanian military forces.

Following the strikes, Syria’s Foreign Ministry said the attack that killed the Americans underscores the need for stronger international cooperation against terrorism, stressing Syria’s commitment to fighting ISIS and continuing military operations wherever the group poses a threat.
