“The operation struck over 75 targets using multiple US Air Force assets, including B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s. Battle damage assessments are underway, and there are no indications of civilian casualties,” CENTCOM wrote on X.
It added that it will continue to work with partners in the region to “degrade ISIS operational capabilities even during this dynamic period in Syria”. General Michael Erik Kurilla said, “There should be no doubt – we will not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the current situation in Syria.”

Biden says some Syrian opposition groups have ‘grim record of terrorism’
The outgoing US president said that some of the opposition groups that overthrew al-Assad have “their own grim record of terrorism”, adding that Washington would assess whether they had grown more moderate.
“Some of the rebel groups that took down Assad have their own grim record of terrorism and human right abuses,” Biden said in his address from the White House. Biden added that the United States had “taken note” of recent statements by opposition groups suggesting they had since moderated, cautioning “we will assess not just their words, but their actions”.
