This operation was a direct response to a lethal ISIS ambush on December 13, 2025, in Palmyra, which resulted in the deaths of two American soldiers and one U.S. civilian interpreter.

The strikes aimed to dismantle ISIS infrastructure, diminish operational capabilities, and deter future attacks on U.S. and coalition personnel. Initial assessments indicate successful degradation of terrorist assets, including command nodes and weapon storage facilities.

Coalition involvement underscores a unified commitment to countering ISIS resurgence in the region.
