January 1, US Retaliates After Americans Killed in Syria

Wyatt’s Take

• Airstrikes hit ISIS targets in Syria after Americans lost their lives.
• Officials say these strikes are payback, not the start of a new war.
• US troops continue their mission to combat ISIS in the region.

The US military has carried out airstrikes against ISIS in Syria. War Secretary Pete Hegseth said these attacks were in direct response to the deaths of American soldiers.

The strikes targeted ISIS fighters, infrastructure, and weapons locations.

“This is not the beginning of a war — it is a declaration of vengeance,” Hegseth said on X.

He explained the US will not hesitate to defend its people, and warned any enemies who target Americans will face severe consequences.

Two Iowa National Guard members and a translator were recently killed in Syria, with three others hurt during ongoing operations.

A US official stated that dozens of targets linked to ISIS were struck, with around 23 militants killed or captured in recent missions.

Hundreds of American personnel remain stationed in Syria as part of efforts against ISIS.
