Apparently the US is also actively involved in Syria atm, but on the other side of the country.
US military says truck-mounted rocket launchers, tank targeted in eastern Syria
US forces targeted three truck-mounted multiple rocket launchers, a T-64 tank and mortars in what it described as a self-defence strike in the vicinity of a US base in eastern Syria.
Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder said the targets of the US attack presented “a clear and imminent threat” to US troops stationed at Mission Support Site Euphrates, the Associated Press news agency reports.
According to Ryder, the air strikes occurred after rockets and mortars landed in the vicinity of the base and the US is still determining who was responsible.
He said the rocket and mortar fire and the US attack were not connected to the offensive that is ongoing in Aleppo, where Syrian rebel fighters have taken over the country’s largest city.
The US still has an estimated 900 soldiers deployed in Syria in what it says is an ongoing mission against ISIL (ISIS) forces.
