US Launches "Hawkeye" Strikes in Syria After Attack on Troops

The United States has carried out new military strikes in Syria. The operation, called "Hawkeye Strike," targeted positions of the militant group Daesh, also known as ISIS. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated the action was a direct response to an attack on U.S. forces. That attack happened near Palmyra, Syria, on December 13. The operation demonstrates a continued U.S. military presence in the region. It follows the policy of using force to protect American personnel and counter terrorist threats.
