Two U.S. airstrikes killed 37 militants affiliated with the extremist Islamic State group and an al Qaeda-linked group in Syria, the military said Sunday.
Two of the dead were senior militants, the U.S. Central Command said.
The military said it struck northwestern Syria on Tuesday, targeting a senior militant from the al Qaeda-linked Hurras al-Deen group and eight others. They say he was responsible for overseeing military operations.
They also announced a strike from earlier this month on Sept. 16, where they conducted a "large-scale airstrike" on an ISIS training camp in a remote undisclosed location in central Syria. That attack killed 28 militants, including "at least four Syrian leaders."
"The airstrike will disrupt ISIS' capability to conduct operations against U.S. interests, as well as our allies and partners," the statement read.
There are some 900 U.S. forces in Syria, along with an undisclosed number of contractors, mostly trying to prevent any comeback by ISIS, which swept through Iraq and Syria in 2014, taking control of large swaths of territory.
U.S. forces advise and assist their key allies in northeastern Syria, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, located not far from strategic areas where Iran-backed militant groups are present, including a key border crossing with Iraq.

While it’s certainly nice of us to help Syrian President Basher Assad in taking out his terrorists, I still don’t get why we’re helping him.
(well, that he’s fighting terrorists there, and our government says that we’re also fighting terrorists there - so I guess we must be helping him)
Now wait until they have the funeral for those, and then bomb everyone who attends those funerals!
74 flying sandals! Let’s get some zeros behind that.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend..................
How is this even possible? Czar Cumala just told us we have no active duty military in combat zones!?!?!?!?!
So... not actually members.
Israel calls for cease fire!
Didn’t Tulsi go there once? I’ll go with her ideas.
The article says we have 900 troops in Syria. Are the aircraft that carried out this mission also located there or are they somewhere else?
They are all the same................
Probably an aircraft carrier.......
We have aircraft in Turkey as well...
Oh, the humanity!
Where are the calls for a ceasefire? The un condemnation? The sanctions?
Oh, yeah.
/s
[Israel calls for cease fire!]
lol - excellent
Biden trying to be Bibi.
And failing.
Yes, but I doubt Turkey would allow us to use their bases for attacks on Syrian forces in support of Kurdish forces...........🙄
Hmmm, not sure they classify ISIS forces as ‘Syrian’ forces. But I am pretty sure aircraft from Turkey have been involved in ISIS strikes for some time now.
This has to be lie, because Kamala Harris said we have no military serving in combat.
Nope no fuel
