Two US soldiers and translator killed in ISIS attack in Syria

Two US soldiers and a civilian translator who were a part of the campaign to root out the Islamic State were killed in an attack in Syria by the terrorist group, and President Donald Trump has vowed “very serious retaliation”.

Trump said in a Truth Social post that three soldiers were also wounded in the attack on Saturday.

In a tumultuous region infested with terrorist groups and civil



strife, the attack on US personnel tests the US cooperation with the Syrian government that took power after President Bashar al-Assad was ousted in December last year.

It also tests the authority of Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s government as the alleged attacker was a member of the Damascus government forces, according to a government spokesperson, and Trump acknowledged the area was not under full Damascus control.
