US launches military operation "Hawk Strike" in Syria

The US has announced the start of Operation "Hawk Strike" in Syria, aimed at ISIS militants in response to an attack on American troops.

"Today, American forces launched Operation "Hawk Strike" in Syria to destroy ISIS militants, infrastructure, and weapons facilities in direct response to the attack on American forces that occurred on December 13 in Palmyra, Syria,'' Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said in a post on X.

According to Hegseth, this is not the beginning of a war – it is an announcement of revenge. The United States of America, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, will never hesitate and will never back down in defending its people, he emphasized.
