US and Syrian forces destroy 15 ISIS weapons sites in southern Syria

The US military said on Sunday that American and Syrian forces recently destroyed 15 ISIS weapons sites in southern Syria.

US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the storage facilities, located across Rif Dimashq province, were identified and eliminated during a series of airstrikes and ground detonations carried out between November 24 and 27.

“The combined operation destroyed over 130 mortars and rockets, multiple assault rifles, machine guns, anti-tank mines, and materials for building improvised explosive devices,” CENTCOM said in a statement.

“This successful operation ensures gains made against ISIS are lasting and the group is not able to regenerate or export terrorist attacks to the US homeland and around the world,” CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper said.

“We will remain vigilant and continue to aggressively pursue ISIS remnants in Syria,” he added.
