The U.S.-led coalition in Syria continued to conduct air strikes against the ISIS terrorist group, American officials said Dec. 25, about a week after President Donald Trump announced his decision to withdraw 2,000 U.S. troops from the war-torn country.
From Dec. 16 to Dec. 22, the coalition said it conducted multiple strikes, including “precision air strikes” and “coordinated fires,“ that successfully destroyed logistics facilities and staging areas used by ISIS in the Middle Euphrates River Valley, and ”removed several hundred ISIS fighters from the battlefield.“ The attacks also damaged the group’s ability to fund its activities by targeting ”several ISIS financial centers and capabilities in Susah and As Shafah.”
