American forces hit multiple ISIS camps across Syria on Oct. 11, in one of the larger military operations against the group in recent months, U.S. Central Command announced today.
The operation took place on the morning of Friday. CENTCOM was very sparse on details regarding the airstrikes, only saying that it targeted “multiple known ISIS camps in Syria.” The military did not elaborate on how many camps were targeted overall, where in Syria they were, or how many militants were killed. Recent raids and strikes carried out by the anti-ISIS Operation Inherent Resolve have focused on locations in eastern Syria, closer to the Iraqi border.
“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,” CENTCOM said in a statement.
CENTCOM is currently reviewing the results of the strikes.
