Washington: US forces have conducted air strikes against multiple Islamic State group sites in Syria, the military said Saturday, as ally Israel battles in Gaza and Lebanon.
US forces "conducted a series of airstrikes against multiple known ISIS camps in Syria in the early morning of Oct. 11," the US Central Command said in a statement on X, using an acronym for the Islamist militant group.
"The strikes will disrupt the ability of ISIS to plan, organize, and conduct attacks against the United States, its allies and partners, and civilians throughout the region and beyond."
The US military has around 900 troops in Syria as part of the international coalition against the Islamic State (IS) group.
The coalition was established in 2014 to help combat the armed group, which had taken over vast swaths of Iraq and Syria.
