The U.S. navy on Saturday (February 14, 2026 reported a sequence of strikes towards Islamic State group targets in Syria in retaliation for the December ambush that killed two U.S. troopers and one American civilian interpreter.
U.S. Central Command mentioned in an announcement that American plane had performed 10 strikes towards greater than 30 IS targets between February 3 and Thursday (February 12, 2026), hitting weapons storage services and different infrastructure.
At the least 50 members of IS have been killed or captured, whereas greater than 100 IS targets have been struck since the USA started its strikes after the December 13 ambush, in line with Central Command. That assault killed Sgt. Edgar Brian Torres-Tovar, Sgt. William Nathaniel Howard, and Ayad Mansoor Sakat, the civilian interpreter.
In the meantime, the Syrian Defence Ministry mentioned on Thursday (February 12, 2026) that authorities forces took management of a base within the east of the nation that was run for years by U.S. troops as a part of the battle towards IS. The Al-Tanf base performed a significant position after IS declared a caliphate in giant elements of Syria and Iraq in 2014.
The U.S. navy on Friday (February 13, 2026) accomplished the switch of 1000’s of IS detainees from Syria to Iraq, the place they’re anticipated to face trial. The prisoners had been despatched to Iraq on the request of Baghdad, in a transfer welcomed by the U.S.-led coalition that had for years fought towards IS.
