Just hours after officially repealing sanctions on the country, the US military began a large-scale attack against Islamic State targets in Syria as the Trump admin retaliated for the death of three Americans last week. The Wall Street Journal reports that a U.S. military official said Friday that dozens of targets were being struck by U.S. F-15 and A-10 warplanes, Apache attack helicopters and Himars rockets. The operation is being dubbed “Hawkeye Strike” in honor of the Iowa National Guard soldiers who were killed and wounded in an ambush the Trump administration has blamed on ISIS. The gunman that ambushed the Americans was killed in the attack. But President Trump on Sunday vowed to take military action against the group. “There will be a lot of damage done to the people that did it. They got the person, the individual person, but there will be big damage done,” Trump said at the time. Syrian authorities last week blamed the ambush on a member of Syria’s security forces who they said was set to be fired for holding extremist views. *  *  * Syria is celebrating after President Trump signed a law on Thursday officially repealing the brutal economic sanctions imposed on the […]
