The United States has conducted numerous "large-scale" strikes against Islamic State targets in Syria, US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Saturday evening.
The strikes are a continuation of Operation Hawkeye Strike, CENTCOM said, an operation that began in retaliation for an Islamic State attack that killed two US soldiers and one civilian in Palmyra, Syria, on December 13, 2025.
The statement did not note whether anyone was killed in the strikes. The Pentagon declined to comment to Reuters on more details, and the State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
About 1,000 US troops remain in Syria.
Syria's government is led by ex-rebels who toppled former President Bashar al-Assad in 2024 after a 13-year civil war, and includes members of Syria's former Al Qaeda branch who broke with the group and clashed with Islamic State.
Syria has been cooperating with a US-led coalition against Islamic State, reaching an agreement late last year when President Ahmed al-Sharaa visited the White House.
This is a developing story.
