The United States and allied forces conducted large-scale strikes against Islamic State (ISIS) targets across Syria on January 10, 2026, as part of Operation Hawkeye Strike. These retaliatory actions were ordered by President Donald Trump in response to a December 13, 2025, ISIS attack in Palmyra that killed two U.S. soldiers and a civilian interpreter. The strikes utilized over 90 precision munitions and more than 20 aircraft, targeting ISIS infrastructure, smuggling routes, and weapons storage. U.S. Central Command stated the operation aims to prevent future attacks and protect forces in the region.
