The attacks marked the second phase of the "Hawkey Strike" operation, a response to the IS ambush in December that killed two soldiers of the Iowa National Guard and a civilian US interpreter.
Today's attacks are aimed at IS throughout Syria as part of our continuous commitment to eliminate Islamic terrorism against our soldiers, prevent future attacks and protect US forces and partners in the region" - US forces and coalition forces are still determined to pursue terrorists trying to harm the US, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement.
The attacks involved more than 20 aircraft, including Jordan's F-15E, A-10, AC-130J, MQ-9 and F-16, firing more than 90 precision bombs at more than 35 targets.
Since returning to the White House in January last year, President Donald Trump has approved attacks in Nigeria, Venezuela, Syria and Iran, and many other locations.
One of the strong military force uses occurred on January 3, when US forces arrested Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in Caracas and brought him back to the US to face drug trafficking charges.
This action - part of what Mr. Trump calls "Donroe Doctrine" - is one of the actions that the Washington administration has taken to pursue a foreign policy that they consider to prioritize US interests.
Our message is still very strong: If you harm our soldiers, we will find and destroy you anywhere in the world, no matter how much you try to evade justice" - the CENTCOM commander declared after the attacks on January 10 in Syria.
