On Saturday, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) revealed that it has executed ten strikes targeting over 30 ISIS positions in Syria over recent days. This operation is part of a collaborative military campaign aimed at maintaining relentless pressure on the remnants of the terrorist organization.
Between February 3 and 12, CENTCOM forces utilized precision munitions delivered by fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aircraft to strike ISIS infrastructure and weapon storage sites.
Earlier, CENTCOM carried out five specific strikes from January 27 to February 2, targeting an ISIS communication hub, a critical logistics node, and several weapons storage locations in Syria.
Dubbed Operation Hawkeye Strike, this mission aims to dismantle over 30 ISIS sites as a response to a deadly ambush in December that resulted in the loss of U.S. troops.
“These targeted strikes underscore our unwavering commitment to preventing an ISIS resurgence in Syria,” stated Adm. Brad Cooper, the commander of CENTCOM, in a recent statement.
“Operating in coordination with coalition and partner forces to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS makes America, the region and the world safer,” he added.
On Jan. 27, President Trump told reporters he had a “great conversation with the highly respected” President of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa.Â

“All of the things having to do with Syria in that area are working out very, very well,” said President Trump. “So we are very happy about it.”
The Operation Hawkeye Strike mission was launched in response to an ISIS “ambush” attack that left two U.S. service members and an American interpreter dead on Dec. 13, 2025, in Palmyra, Syria.
“More than 50 ISIS terrorists have been killed or captured and over 100 ISIS infrastructure targets have been struck with hundreds of precision munitions during two months of targeted operations,” states CENTCOM.

On Thursday, CENTCOM announced it has completed its withdrawal of American forces from al-Tanf Garrison in Syria pointing to a broader shift in U.S. posture in the region.
“Striking these targets demonstrates our continued focus and resolve for preventing an ISIS resurgence in Syria,” said Adm. Brad Cooper. (CENTCOM)
Operation Inherent Resolve was launched in 2014 to combat ISIS with American troops maintaining a limited presence to support partner forces and prevent ISIS from returning after it was territorially defeated in 2019.
