U.S. and allied forces carried out precision strikes on ISIS targets in Syria late Saturday, exactly one month after a deadly attack on American troops.
According to U.S. Central Command, the operation was a direct response meant to send a powerful warning to anyone who targets U.S. forces abroad.
In a blunt public message, Central Command stated: “If you harm our warfighters, we will find you and kill you anywhere in the world, no matter how hard you try to evade justice.”
Military officials say the strikes focused on ISIS infrastructure and operational assets, aiming to disrupt the group’s ability to plan and carry out future attacks.
The timing of the operation appears deliberate, signaling that attacks on American troops will not be forgotten — and will be answered with force.
Defense analysts say this strike reinforces a clear doctrine: any group that targets U.S. forces will face consequences, regardless of distance or delay.
