US President Donald Trump has given a strict warning to terrorists after the airstrike on ISIS targets in Syria. America took major action against ISIS under ‘Operation Hawkeye Strike’. This step was taken after the attack in which two American soldiers were killed in the Syrian desert. Trump clearly said that if America is attacked or threatened, the response will be tougher than ever.
Action after the death of American soldiers
Donald Trump said that ISIS has ‘brutally murdered’ American soldiers in Syria. He told that the mortal remains of recently killed soldiers were brought to America with respect. Trump said that he had already promised revenge and now as part of that, ‘very serious retaliation’ is being taken against the terrorists.
Strong attack on ISIS targets
According to Trump, the US Army has targeted strong positions of ISIS in Syria. He said that Syria is an area which has been full of bloodshed, but if ISIS is eliminated then its future can be bright.
‘If America is attacked, it will hurt more than before’
In his strict tone, Trump said, ‘Any terrorist who dares to attack or threaten America will get a stronger response than ever before.’ He warned in clear words that any kind of attack on America will not be tolerated.
Syrian government support
Trump claimed that the Syrian government is also in support of this action. He said the Syrian leadership is working to return stability and ‘greatness’ to the country and is cooperating in operations against ISIS.
In which areas the attacks took place?
According to Syrian state TV, the American strikes were carried out in rural areas of Deir ez-Zor and Raqqa provinces. Apart from this, Jabal al-Amour area near Palmyra was also targeted. According to reports, ISIS weapons depots and command centers were destroyed in these attacks.

Other people also injured in the attack
