US air strikes against ISISThe United States has launched airstrikes against ISIS camps in Syria, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement.

The operation consisted of “dozens of precision airstrikes” and struck more than 75 targets in central Syria using Air Force assets, including B-52s, F-15s and A-10s.

“The strikes against the ISIS leaders, operatives, and camps were conducted as part of the ongoing mission to disrupt, degrade and defeat ISIS, in order to prevent the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek to take advantage of the current situation to reconstitute in central Syria,” CENTCOM’s statement said.

Earlier Sunday, the Syrian government fell after rebels entered the capital city and ended President Bashar Assad and his family’s 50-year rule.

Assad and his family fled to Russia, where they were welcomed and approved for asylum.

Citizens took to the streets in celebration of the overthrow and pivotal moment in the civil war.

The uprising has raised questions about what lies ahead for the country and region, but Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla said there “should be no doubt” that the U.S. will not allow ISIS to reconstitute in the wake of the current situation.
