U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Wednesday that it has conducted five strikes against in recent days as part of a joint military initiative aimed at “ensuring the lasting defeat of the terrorist network.”

CENTCOM stated that between January 27 and February 2, its forces “located and destroyed an ISIS communication outpost, a key logistics hub, and weapons storage facilities using 50 precision-guided munitions deployed by fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and unmanned aerial vehicles.”

“Targeting these sites shows our ongoing focus and determination to prevent an ,” Adm. Brad Cooper, the commander of CENTCOM, said in a statement.

“Working in concert with coalition and partner forces to secure the lasting defeat of ISIS makes the U.S., the region, and the world safer.”

CENTCOM noted it initiated Operation Hawkeye Strike in response to a December 13, 2025, targeting U.S. and Syrian forces in Palmyra, Syria. That attack resulted in the deaths of two U.S. service members and one American interpreter.

“Following nearly two months of targeted operations, have been either killed or captured. CENTCOM forces eliminated Bilal Hasan al-Jasim in a planned strike in northwest Syria on January 16. The terrorist leader had direct ties to the ISIS gunman behind the December 13 attack,” the military agency said.

Cooper remarked in December, at the launch of Operation Hawkeye Strike, that the initiative is “vital to stopping ISIS from inspiring terrorist plots and attacks on the U.S. homeland.”

“We will keep relentlessly going after terrorists who aim to harm Americans and our partners throughout the region,” he added.

In December—prior to the start of Operation Hawkeye Strike—CENTCOM noted that U.S. and partner forces in Syria “carried out over 80 operations in the past six months to neutralize terrorists who pose a direct threat to the U.S. and regional security.”
