US conducts airstrikes in Syria against ISIS camps

( NewsNation ) — The United States has conducted airstrikes in Syria against multiple known ISIS camps, according to the U.S. Central Command

The airstrikes occurred early morning Friday, according to a statement posted to X Saturday morning.

“The strikes will disrupt the ability of ISIS to plan, organize and conduct attacks against the United States, its allies and partners and civilians throughout the region and beyond,” the U.S. Central Command said.
