The US military says it has again killed two fighters of the Islamic State (IS) terrorist militia in Syria. Another was wounded, according to the US Regional Command (Centcom). The men were transporting a truckload of weapons. This was destroyed in the attack. The attack took place in an area that had been controlled by government troops and the ally Russia until the fall of Syrian ruler Bashar al-Assad.

Despite the military victory over the Islamic State terrorist militia announced in 2019, its cells are still active in Syria. The USA is leading an international coalition in the fight against IS in Iraq and Syria. US troops are to remain in the country for the time being, even after the fall of Assad.
