Since the attacks began on Oct. 17, a total of 21 U.S. troops have been injured, of which 19 were later diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury. An American contractor also died of a cardiac arrest while sheltering from a possible drone attack that turned out to be a false alarm.
Two U.S. F-16s struck weapons and ammunition storage areas near Boukamal, Syria, that were connected to the IRGC, the Associated Press reported. As of Thursday, the U.S. did not have a battle damage assessment of the airstrikes, a senior defense official told reporters.
The airstrikes are “separate and distinct” from the war between Israel and Hamas, Austin said in the statement. The strikes were solely meant to protect U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria and they do not indicate a shift in the U.S. approach to the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.

Good. Harder, and fasterer. You attack us, we destroy you should be our mantra.
