(Worthy News) –
The US military announced on Thursday that it killed three senior members of the so-called “Islamic State” (IS) during a rare operation in northern Syria.
The airstrike and helicopter raid are the first known US operations in territory held by forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
The US Central Command (Centcom) spent more than 1,000 hours collecting intelligence on the targets to minimize the risk of collateral damage, officials said. There were no reports of civilian casualties. [ Source: Deutche Welle (Read More…) ]
