ROMA (ITALPRESS) – Following the attack on US forces and allied forces last Saturday, the US Central Command (Centcom) launched the Hawkeye Strike operation against Isis in Syria. Centcom forces hit more than 70 targets in different locations in central Syria with combat aircraft, attack helicopters and artillery. The Jordanian armed forces also provided support with combat aircraft. The operation took over 100 precision ammunition against known Isis infrastructure and war sites. “This operation is fundamental to prevent ISIS from inspiring terrorist plots and attacks against US territory,” said Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of Centcom. “We will continue to prosecute terrorists trying to harm Americans and our partners throughout the region,” he added.
American President Donald Trump said: “The United States is inflicting a serious retaliation, just as I promised, on responsible terrorists. We are strongly striking the strongholds of Isis in Syria, a place full of blood that has many problems, but which has a bright future if the Isis will be eradicated. The Syrian government, led by a man who is working hard to restore greatness in Syria, is fully in favour. All terrorists are warned: you will be impressed in the hardest way than you have ever been before if, in any way, you attack or threaten the United States.”.
