U.S. Drops 100 Precision Munitions To Impress ISIS With Overkill
KEY POINTS
- â˘The U.S. military launched a comprehensive air strike on December 16 at 4 pm ET against ISIS sites in Syria near Deir ez-Zur, Raqqa, and Homs.
- â˘More than 100 precision munitions were deployed with support from Jordanian fighter jets targeting 70 ISIS infrastructures and weapons locations.
- â˘President Trump hailed Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa's support for the operation and warned terrorists of unprecedented retaliation for attacks on America.
On Friday at exactly 4 pm ET, the U.S. military treated ISIS to its most generous bombing spree since forever. Declared 'Hawkeye Strike', this retaliatory fiesta hit 70 ISIS targets scattered near Deir ez-Zur, Raqqa, Homsâthe usual Syrian hot spots closely resembling a geography class nightmare. Armed with more than 100 precision munitions, fighter jets, attack helicopters, and helpful support from Jordanâs air force, CENTCOM made sure ISIS infrastructure and armories saw better days. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth framed the attack as not a war start but a vengeance declaration, while President Trump praised 'Ahmad al-Sharaaâs' mysterious backing and warned terrorists of unprecedented pain. All this, following the tragic killing of three U.S. soldiers on December 13.
