From NY Post: The massive US attack in Syria killed at least five ISIS terrorists, including a cell leader, a Syrian human rights group said.
The US military unloaded on more than 70 targets across the country, in a bombardment that brought to bear F-15 fighter jets, A-10 Warthogs, Apache helicopters and missiles, US Central Command reported.
The strikes killed “at least five members” of ISIS in Syria’s Deir Az Zor province, Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights told the AFP. He added that the fatalities also included the head of a drone operations cell.
US Central Command said 10 joint operations had resulted in the “deaths or detention of 23 terrorist operatives.”
President Donald J. Trump commented on the attack during a campaign event in North Carolina on Friday night.
He said he had ordered a “massive strike on the terrorists that killed our three great patriots last week.”
“It was very successful. It was precision,” Trump said. “We hit every site flawlessly and we are restoring peace through strength all over the world.
“We hit the ISIS thugs in Syria who were trying to regroup after their decimation by the Trump Administration five years ago. We hit ’em hard.”
