The United States has launched one of its largest military operations in Syria in recent years, unleashing devastating airstrikes on ISIS targets across central Syria. The operation follows a deadly attack in Palmyra that killed two U.S. soldiers and a civilian interpreter. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth described the strikes as a “declaration of vengeance,” warning that any attack on American forces will be met with overwhelming force. As roughly 1,000 U.S. troops remain on the ground, Washington signals that while this is not a war, it is a clear and uncompromising warning to ISIS and its supporters.
