President Biden ordered airstrikes against two facilities in Syria used by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards on Sunday.
The strikes, carried out by Air Force F-15E fighter jets are the latest retaliatory attacks for the daily barrage of rocket hits on US forces in Iraq and Syria.
The US jets hit structures in Abu Kamal and a safe house in Mayadin – used for weapons and ammunition storage and command and control HQs.
The attacks come four days after US warplanes hit a munitions depot in eastern Syria and the same day five US Army soldiers were killed in a helicopter crash in the Mediterranean Sea.
