The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has conducted two targeted airstrikes in Syria this month, resulting in the deaths of 37 militants. Among those killed were multiple senior leaders of the terrorist organizations ISIS and Hurras al-Din, an Al-Qaeda affiliate. The airstrikes targeted a training camp in Central Syria, leading to the elimination of 28 ISIS operatives, including at least four senior leaders. The operations were part of ongoing efforts by the U.S. military over the past two weeks to combat terrorist groups in the region.
