United States special forces launched a rare airborne raid in north-western Syria on Thursday, an operation the Pentagon described as 'successful'.
There are reports several people have died in a US-led raid in north-western Syria, an operation the Pentagon described as"successful".
The Pentagon stopped short of revealing its target in the raid but said more information would be provided later. US special forces have carried out several operations against jihadist targets in the Idlib area in recent months. "Al-Qaeda uses Syria as a safe haven to rebuild, coordinate with external affiliates, and plan external operations," said Central Command spokesman Army Major John Rigsbee in a statement at the time.
