The U.S. military conducted airstrikes against the senior ISIS attack planner and other terrorists in Somalia on Saturday.
President Trump said on his Truth Social network that the strikes, the first military action since he took office Jan. 20, were carried out Saturday morning.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said in a statement the U.S. worked with Somalian authorities to carry out the offensive.
“This morning, I ordered precision military air strikes on the Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia,” Trump wrote in his post.
The airstrikes took out ISIS operatives in the Golis mountains in the Bari region, Hegseth said, including a senior official, responsible for planning ISIS attacks.
The name of the alleged ISIS official was not included.
“These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies,” Trump added in his Truth Social post. “The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians.”
Hegseth said “multiple operatives were killed” in the airstrikes, further degrading “ISIS’s ability to plot and conduct terrorist attacks threatening U.S. citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians.”

This is going to piss off the Congress’s token Somalian Muzzie. Ilhan Omar.
The left will accuse Trump of starting a war.
Maybe we should also stop supporting ISIS in Syria where they just took over with our planes flying top cover.

SecDef HegSeth — say it fast
Loose lips......
Military history shows strikes against well dug cave positions to be of limited effect.
If the strikes were carrier launched, I'm not getting hopeful.
If launched from Diego Garcia, results could be positive.
She’s gonna stroke out.
Lots of winning!
“The left will accuse Trump of starting a war.”
They started it when the creep with the ISIS flag on his pickup mowed down 30 people in NOLA.
Who knows what else ISID is responsible for?
Several they arrested for arson in California had middle eastern names.
We’ve had 3 plane crashes with unknown cause.
Screw ISIS. Blow them up! You can bet many of them have crossed our border in the last 4 years.
Maybe next week we’ll be treated to some 7th century rabid animal types like the Taliban have been the last decades.
I think I sprained my tongue…..😛
