US strikes kill up to 150 ISIS fighters in Syria

The US’ sustained campaign against ISIS is generating results.

By: AP

US military officials say American airstrikes in Syria on Saturday killed up to 150 Islamic State (ISIS) fighters in a command center in the Middle Euphrates River Valley.

The US-led coalition fighting the Islamic State says the strikes were near As Shafah, which is north of Abu Kamal in eastern Syria.

They targeted an ISIS headquarters and were assisted by Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) who watched the area before the attack.

The coalition says there was a heavy concentration of fighters at the site and they appeared to be preparing to move. The large number of fighters killed in the attack underscores US assertions that ISIS continues to be a threat in Syria and hasn’t been defeated.

The coalition says only ISIS fighters were killed in the strikes.
