U.S. and Syrian Forces Hit ISIS Weapons Sites in Coordinated Airstrikes

American and Syrian military forces carried out a series of coordinated airstrikes this week, targeting what officials identified as key ISIS weapons storage locations in southern Syria. The operation, which unfolded over several days, was aimed at cutting off the group’s ability to rearm and rebuild.

According to U.S. military officials, the strikes were concentrated in the Rif Damashq region, an area where ISIS fighters have attempted to regroup following earlier territorial losses. Intelligence reports indicated that multiple storage facilities were being used to hide rockets, mortars, and equipment for producing improvised explosive devices.

Between November 24 and November 27, coalition aircraft launched precision strikes on at least fifteen different sites. After the air attacks, ground teams moved in to confirm the destruction of the weapons and ensure the locations could no longer be used. Officials said more than one hundred mortars and rockets were eliminated, along with assault rifles, machine guns, anti-tank mines, and materials that could be used to assemble roadside bombs.

Military leaders described the operation as a significant setback for ISIS, noting that the group has been attempting to rebuild small networks across the region. They emphasized that continued pressure — especially through joint operations — is crucial to preventing militants from regaining momentum.

The mission also marked a rare moment of direct cooperation between U.S. and Syrian government forces, who have historically operated in the same region but not always in coordination. Officials said the collaboration was driven by shared concerns surrounding ISIS’s efforts to reestablish supply lines and stockpile weapons.

No casualties among U.S. or Syrian personnel were reported. The military indicated that further actions may follow as intelligence teams assess whether any additional weapons caches remain hidden in the area.

The strikes are part of a broader effort to contain ISIS’s presence in Syria, where remnants of the group continue to exploit remote terrain and political instability in an effort to rebuild their capabilities.
