US launches 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 follow President Donald Trump’s pledge to respond after two US soldiers and a civilian interpreter were killed in an assault last weekend near Palmyra.
