The United States military has carried out a new series of airstrikes against Islamic State targets across Syria, maintaining pressure on the extremist group’s networks in the region, U.S. Central Command said.

CENTCOM reported that between Feb. 3 and Feb. 12, U.S. forces conducted 10 separate strikes that hit more than 30 ISIS-linked targets, including infrastructure and weapons storage facilities. 

The operations involved a mix of precision-guided munitions delivered by fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and unmanned drones as part of the broader counter-ISIS campaign.

These actions are part of Operation Hawkeye Strike, which is a campaign that began in late 2025after the deadly ambush near Palmyra in central Syria that killed two U.S. service members and an American interpreter. 

CENTCOM said the strikes aimed to degrade ISIS’s ability to regroup and carry out further attacks.

According to CENTCOM data, more than 50 suspected ISIS fighters have been killed or captured during these operations, and over 100 of the group’s infrastructure targets have been hit with precision munitions in recent months.
