.DeptofDefense officials now assess that eight militants were killed in the US military’s retaliatory strikes in Syria last week. POTUS ordered two strikes against facilities that were believed to be connected to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp.
President Joe Biden ordered two strikes against facilities that were believed to be connected to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps , which had just launched an attack that killed a U.S. contractor and wounded a handful of service members.
Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder told reporters on Thursday that they now believe “eight militants were killed in our strike against two IRGC Quds Force facilities” near Deir ez-Zor province in the eastern part of the country. He said the six people, five of whom are U.S. service members, who were injured in the initial strike that hit a maintenance facility on a coalition base are in stable condition, as is the one other who was injured in a separate strike the next day.
“The airstrikes were conducted in response to today’s attack as well as a series of recent attacks against Coalition forces in Syria by groups affiliated with the IRGC," Austin said in a statement last week. “As President Biden has made clear, we will take all necessary measures to defend our people and will always respond at a time and place of our choosing. No group will strike our troops with impunity.
