At least five killed in US retaliatory strikes on Islamic State group targets in Syria
The US military has carried out a wave of air strikes against dozens of Islamic State group targets across central Syria, US officials said, in retaliation for a deadly attack on American personnel. The strikes, which killed at least five, were carried out with Jordan’s participation and followed President Donald Trump’s pledge to respond after two US soldiers and a civilian interpreter were killed in an assault last weekend near Palmyra.
