[FoxNews] Senior ISIS leaders taken out in latest US strike in Syria

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on Wednesday said its forces in the Middle East conducted a "series of strikes" on several ISIS locations in Syria earlier this week in an operation that killed up to 35 terrorists.

The operation, which targeted multiple camps across Syria on Monday evening, also successfully took out "multiple" senior ISIS leaders, confirmed CENTCOM.

The release also confirmed that no civilian casualties have been "indicated" in the sweeping strikes.

U.S. soldiers have been fighting ISIS alongside coalition forces in Iraq and Syria since the terrorist group first emerged in 2014.

Less than 1,000 U.S. troops remain in Syria while roughly 2,500 remain in Iraq.

Last month, the Pentagon said that it plans to change its "footprint" in Iraq in 2025, but it refused to detail what that means in regard to the number of troops that will remain.
