The U.S.\u00a0military\u00a0said on Sunday that it recently destroyed 15 sites containing Islamic State\u00a0weapons\u00a0caches in southern Syria.
U.S. Central Command\u00a0said it\u00a0and\u00a0Syrian\u00a0forces\u00a0identified\u00a0and\u00a0destroyed the\u00a0storage\u00a0facilities\u00a0across the Rif Damashq province during multiple\u00a0airstrikes\u00a0and\u00a0ground detonations that were\u00a0conducted from November 24 to November 27.
“The combined operation destroyed over 130 mortars\u00a0and\u00a0rockets, multiple assault rifles, machine guns, anti-tank mines,\u00a0and\u00a0materials for building improvised explosive devices,” CENTCOM said in a statement.
Islamic State, the militant group that once imposed hardline Islamist rule over millions of people in Syria\u00a0and\u00a0Iraq, was largely crushed by a U.S.-led coalition several years ago, but has managed to rebuild\u00a0and\u00a0regroup.
Admiral Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, said on Sunday the operation “ensures gains made against\u00a0ISIS\u00a0are lasting.”
U.S. President Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0vowed<\/a>\u00a0to do everything he could to make Syria successful after November 10 talks with\u00a0Syrian\u00a0President Ahmed al-Sharaa,\u00a0a former al Qaeda commander who until recently was sanctioned by Washington as a foreign terrorist.
Syria\u00a0carried out nationwide pre-emptive operations<\/a>\u00a0targeting Islamic State cells in the days before the talks in Washington, the\u00a0Syrian\u00a0government said at the time.
One of Sharaa’s chief aims in the meeting with Trump was to push for full removal of the toughest U.S. sanctions against the country.
During the meeting, the U.S. Treasury Department announced a 180-day extension of its suspension of enforcement of the so-called Caesar sanctions, but only the U.S. Congress can lift them entirely.
