The US says its military has carried out a “massive strike” against the Islamic State group (IS) in Syria, in response to a deadly attack on American forces in the country.
The US Central Command (Centcom) said fighter jets, attack helicopters and artillery “struck more than 70 targets at multiple locations across central Syria”. Aircraft from Jordan were also involved.
It said the operation “employed more than 100 precision munitions” targeting known IS infrastructure and weapons sites.
President Donald Trump said “we are striking very strongly” against IS strongholds, following the 13 December IS ambush in the city of Palmyra in which two US soldiers and a US civilian interpreter were killed.
IS has not publicly commented.

NEDERLAND’S THANKS MINISTER PRESIDENT TRUMP USA
Mr BBC : Uk is in crisis where have you vanished. Starmer is stammering. He will destroy Britain and flee the country.
Can we trust anything you say after recent events or is it fake news?
Palmyra : Goddess of War
War crimes where are sanctions on the USA?
Let me get this straight… We already know that five isis terrorists were killed yet, we still don’t know the total number of Hamas killed by Israel? Israel can’t bomb Hamas which is right on the border but, American can bomb a country thousands of miles away… I support both by the way. Hope we avenge the deaths and hope Israel kills their enemies too
Firstly the BBC are a complete joke, just on corruption alone.
Anyway, this is so funny on every level because America wanted stability in the region and it’s worse now than it was before.
People need to see it’s Americas meddling that’s the problem.
First Iraq then Afghanistan and so on.
When Americans wake up to another 911 and eventually they will then be the first to complain lol.
Leave the middle east Americans and admit you lost, you can’t kill a way of life.
America has been around for over 250 years and in that time, they have only not been at war for 7 years lol.
Don’t blame terrorist for what’s happening blame Americans for creating them.
Free Palestine too
News is sad. Let PORKFOOT cheer you up. https://youtu.be/Rtfak4UvopE?si=qtsrpmWZxVYbzcMZ
USA is a terrorist country that took birth to destroy humanity and peace of this beautiful world.
