The United States on Saturday midday used more than 20 military aircraft and over 90 precision-guided munitions to launch a large-scale retaliatory strike against more than 35 "Islamic State" targets in Syria, which is part of an ongoing operation named "Eagle Eye Strike." The operation is named after two U.S. soldiers who died in the operation, from "Eagle Eye State" Iowa. The operation was launched on December 19, 2025, as a direct response to a deadly attack that occurred six days earlier in Palmyra, Syria, in which two U.S. soldiers and one civilian translator were killed, and the attacker was an Islamic State fighter. To carry out the long-term operation against the Islamic State, hundreds of U.S. troops are still deployed in Syria.
