US Launches ‘Operation Hawkeye Strike’ Against ISIS In Syria, Multiple Terror Hideouts Targeted

Washington: America has once again launched a major military operation against the terrorist organization ISIS in Syria. US Central Command (CENTCOM) said that under “Operation Hawkeye Strike” in collaboration with allied forces, terrorist hideouts located in different areas of the country were targeted.

When and how was the attack carried out?

According to Centcom, these attacks were carried out at around 12:30 pm American time. An attempt was made to weaken the activities of ISIS and its network by conducting air strikes at many places simultaneously. The US Army says that this step has been taken keeping in mind the safety of its soldiers and allied forces deployed in the area.

What was said to be the purpose of these attacks?

America claims that this campaign was not started suddenly, but behind it was a major attack that took place last month. On December 13, 2025, two American soldiers and an American civilian interpreter were killed in an ISIS terrorist attack in the Palmyra area of ​​Syria. After this, on the instructions of President Donald Trump, this operation was formally started on December 19.

What warning did America give to the terrorists?

CENTCOM said in its statement that America will not spare under any circumstances those terrorists who try to harm its soldiers or civilians. The Army said in clear words that no matter where anyone is hiding, he will be found and given a reply.

Who were the American soldiers killed?

The killed soldiers have been identified as 25-year-old Sergeant Edgar Brian Torres Tovar and 29-year-old Sergeant William Nathaniel Howard, CNN reports. Both were attached to the Iowa National Guard and were part of a contingent of about 1,800 US troops sent to the Middle East earlier this year as part of “Operation Inherent Resolve”, the ongoing campaign against ISIS.

How much military force was used in the latest attack?

Regarding the latest military action, an American official said that during this operation, more than 90 precision strikes were carried out, in which more than 35 targets were targeted. More than two dozen fighter planes were used in this entire mission.

America says that such actions will continue until organizations like ISIS are completely weakened.
