The United States has intensified its campaign against ISIS in Syria, launching a wave of targeted strikes aimed at dismantling the terror group’s remaining networks. Military officials say the operations targeted dozens of key locations used by ISIS fighters, including weapons depots, communication hubs, and logistical sites.
The latest military action comes as part of a broader effort to keep pressure on the extremist group after a deadly ambush last year that killed American service members. Officials say the mission signals Washington’s determination to prevent ISIS from rebuilding its operational strength in the region.
Ten Strikes Target ISIS Infrastructure

According to U.S. Central Command, American forces carried out ten separate strikes on more than 30 ISIS targets across Syria in recent days. The operations were designed to weaken the group’s remaining infrastructure and disrupt its ability to organize attacks.
CENTCOM said the actions were part of a coordinated campaign to “sustain relentless military pressure on remnants from the terrorist network.”
Between Feb. 3 and Feb. 12, the command reported that U.S. forces “struck ISIS infrastructure and weapons storage targets with precision munitions delivered by fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aircraft.”
Military officials described the strikes as precise and deliberate, focusing on locations tied directly to ISIS operations.
Earlier Operations Hit Key ISIS Facilities
The recent offensive followed additional strikes conducted earlier in the year. CENTCOM confirmed that between Jan. 27 and Feb. 2, U.S. forces carried out five strikes against an ISIS communication site, a logistics hub, and multiple weapons storage facilities in Syria.
These targets were believed to play a crucial role in supporting ISIS fighters operating in the region.
For American commanders, dismantling these logistical and communication networks is essential. Without them, ISIS struggles to coordinate attacks, move supplies, or maintain organized cells.
Military Leaders Emphasize Ongoing Mission

U.S. military leaders say the operations demonstrate a continued commitment to keeping ISIS from regaining strength.
“Striking these targets demonstrates our continued focus and resolve for preventing an ISIS resurgence in Syria,” Adm. Brad Cooper, the commander of CENTCOM, said in a statement at the time.
“Operating in coordination with coalition and partner forces to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS makes America, the region and the world safer.”
Officials say coalition coordination remains a critical part of the mission, allowing allied forces to share intelligence and respond quickly to threats.
Operation Hawkeye Strike After Deadly Ambush
The military campaign is part of Operation Hawkeye Strike, which was launched after a deadly ISIS ambush in Palmyra, Syria.
The Dec. 13, 2025 attack left two U.S. service members and an American interpreter dead, prompting American forces to intensify their operations against ISIS positions.
CENTCOM later confirmed the scale of the response.
“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,” CENTCOM said.
Officials believe the continued pressure is critical to preventing ISIS fighters from reorganizing in Syria’s unstable security environment.
Trump Comments On Syria Situation

Meanwhile, President Trump spoke about developments in Syria earlier this year after holding discussions with Syrian leadership.
On Jan. 27, he told reporters he had a “great conversation with the highly respected” president of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa.
“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 remarks came as the U.S. continued to monitor shifting political dynamics inside Syria.
U.S. Adjusts Military Presence In Syria

While operations against ISIS continue, the U.S. military has also begun adjusting its presence on the ground.
On Thursday, CENTCOM announced it had completed the withdrawal of American forces from al-Tanf Garrison in Syria. The move reflects a broader shift in the U.S. military posture in the region.
However, officials stress that counterterrorism efforts remain active.
Operation Inherent Resolve, the long-running mission launched in 2014, continues to support partner forces in preventing ISIS from regaining territorial control after the group was defeated on the battlefield in 2019.
Still, commanders warn that ISIS remains a persistent threat. As long as the group retains cells and fighters across the region, military pressure will continue.
