The statement said that as part of a campaign against the extremist group in Iraq and Syria, the US military conducted 10 airstrikes on more than 30 ISIS targets in Syria between February 3 and 12.

The strikes were part of Operation Hawkeye Strike, in which the US said it killed or captured ISIS fighters and hit more than 100 ISIS targets.

The campaign began after a member of the Syrian general security forces affiliated with ISIS ambushed US and Syrian forces in the city of Palmyra, killing two US soldiers and a translator and wounding three members of Syrian government forces.

Since 2014, the US has led the international coalition to defeat ISIS in Syria and Iraq and has partnered with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to defeat the radical group. In November, Syria officially joined the coalition, and Washington has since turned to Damascus as its main ally against ISIS.
