The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the joint offensive, which involved coordinated airstrikes using fighter jets, attack helicopters, and guided artillery systems, aimed at degrading ISIS infrastructure and operational capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The operation came as a direct <strong>retaliatory response to a deadly attack on December 13, 2025<\/strong>, when a gunman, suspected of ISIS affiliation, ambushed a U.S. and allied convoy near <strong>Palmyra in central Syria<\/strong>, killing two U.S. Army soldiers and a civilian interpreter. Following this attack, U.S. and partner forces carried out multiple operations in Syria and Iraq that resulted in the death or detention of several ISIS operatives prior to the launch of Operation Hawkeye Strike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scope_and_Military_Assets_Used\"><\/span><strong>Scope and Military Assets Used<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to military sources, more than <strong>70 ISIS-linked targets<\/strong> were struck in central and eastern Syria. The offensive employed <strong>over 100 precision-guided munitions<\/strong> to hit command centers, weapons depots, training facilities, logistical hubs, and other ISIS infrastructure points. American aircraft such as the <strong>A-10 Thunderbolt II and F-15E Strike Eagle<\/strong>, supported by <strong>AH-64 Apache helicopters and HIMARS rocket artillery systems<\/strong>, were used alongside <strong>Jordanian Air Force F-16 fighter jets<\/strong> to amplify the impact of the operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CENTCOM officials stressed the precision nature of the strikes to minimize civilian casualties while maximizing damage to ISIS operational capabilities. Central Syria\u2019s terrain\u2014spanning deserts and urban outskirts\u2014hosted many of the targeted ISIS sites, according to official military briefings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"US_Strategic_Priorities_and_Official_Statements\"><\/span><strong>U.S. Strategic Priorities and Official Statements<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Admiral <strong>Brad Cooper<\/strong>, commander of CENTCOM, emphasised that the operation was essential to <strong>prevent ISIS from planning and executing future terrorist plots<\/strong> against the United States and its allies. The strikes reflect a continued U.S. commitment to eliminating remnants of ISIS that still pose security threats after the group lost its territorial caliphate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jordan\u2019s participation was also notable, with its statement highlighting the importance of <strong>preventing extremist groups from using Syrian territory as a base for regional attacks<\/strong> that could threaten its own national security and that of neighbouring states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"International_and_Regional_Impact\"><\/span><strong>International and Regional Impact<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This joint operation reinforces broader international efforts against ISIS. Although ISIS no longer holds the expansive territory it once did in Syria and Iraq, its remnants continue to wage insurgent operations, recruit fighters, and exploit unstable regions of the Middle East. The strikes followed a series of counterterrorism operations conducted by U.S. and allied forces over the prior months, aimed at weakening ISIS\u2019s capacity to reorganize and launch attacks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The operation has been closely watched by global security analysts as a reminder of ongoing threats from extremist groups and the importance of multilateral military cooperation in combating transnational terrorism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure

At its height, coalition forces helped liberate major cities such as Mosul (Iraq) and Raqqa (Syria) from ISIS control.
