US Strikes Iran-Backed Militias in Syria Following Attacks on Troops

The US military conducted airstrikes in Syria targeting Iranian-backed groups in response to recent attacks on US forces. Nine targets were hit at two locations, aiming to degrade the groups' ability to launch future attacks. The strikes were a message against attacks on US and coalition forces in the region. No US personnel were injured, and the specific groups targeted were not disclosed. Meanwhile, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported casualties among Iranian-backed groups, and separate Israeli airstrikes in Syria were also reported.
