BREAKING🚨: A devastating blow to our troops in Syria today—two U.S. Army soldiers and one civilian interpreter lost their lives in an ISIS ambush, with three others wounded during a routine counter-ISIS engagement in Palmyra.

Partner forces swiftly neutralized the lone attacker on the scene. Out of respect for the families, the victims’ identities will remain private for the next 24 hours until next of kin are fully notified.

U.S. Central Command is leading the investigation, with more details to follow.

In a powerful statement, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth vowed: “The savage who perpetrated this attack was killed by partner forces. Let it be known, if you target Americans anywhere in the world, you will spend the rest of your brief, anxious life knowing the United States will hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you.”
