Operation Inherent Resolve

Operation Inherent Resolve is the U.S.-led military intervention against ISIS, initiated in 2014. Recent news highlights ongoing activity in Syria. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced ten strikes against over 30 ISIS targets between February 3rd and 12th, emphasizing the continued effort to pressure the terrorist network. Simultaneously, the U.S. military completed the transfer of approximately 5,700 ISIS detainees to Iraq, reflecting concerns about the Syrian government's ability to ensure security. Furthermore, U.S. forces completed their withdrawal from the strategic al-Tanf Garrison, indicating a shift in U.S. posture within the region. These actions follow retaliatory strikes against ISIS after a December attack in Palmyra that killed three Americans, demonstrating the operation's ongoing relevance in combating ISIS remnants and responding to threats against U.S. personnel.
