Trump Orders Mass Strike Against ISIS In Syria After US Forces Killed-llllllllll
U.S. forces late Friday launched a large-scale assault on Islamic State targets across Syria, carrying out President Donald Trump’s pledge of “retaliation” after an ISIS gunman killed three Americans last weekend
U.S. Central Command said American forces, operating with support from Jordan, struck more than 70 sites across central Syria. The Pentagon said fighter jets, attack helicopters, and artillery were used to deliver more than 100 precision munitions against ISIS infrastructure and weapons depots.
CENTCOM said the operation was named Operation Hawkeye Strike. In a social media statement, Trump said the mission was a direct response to last weekend’s ambush near Palmyra, where Pentagon officials say two U.S. service members and a civilian interpreter were shot and killed by an ISIS terrorist.
“Because of ISIS’s vicious killing of brave American patriots in Syria, whose beautiful souls I welcomed home to American soil earlier this week in a very dignified ceremony, I am hereby announcing that the United States is inflicting very serious retaliation, just as I promised, on the murderous terrorists responsible,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “We are striking very strongly against ISIS strongholds in Syria, a place soaked in blood which has many problems, but one that has a bright future if ISIS can be eradicated.”
“The government of Syria, led by a man who is working very hard to bring greatness back to Syria, and is fully in support,” Trump continued, writing in all caps that any terrorists who attack Americans in the future will “be hit harder than you have ever been hit before.”
Navy Adm. Brad Cooper, the commander of CENTCOM, said the strikes will degrade ISIS’s ability to target American forces.
“This operation is critical to preventing ISIS from inspiring terrorist plots and attacks against the U.S. homeland,” he said in a statement, per the Washington Times. “We will continue to relentlessly pursue terrorists who seek to harm Americans and our partners across the region.”
Since the Dec. 13 Islamic State attack, U.S. forces have conducted more than 80 operations against the militant group in Syria, U.S. Central Command said. Twenty-three ISIS operatives have been killed or captured, military officials said.
In a separate post on Truth Social, Trump referred to Syria’s new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, who took power in Damascus in December 2024 following the overthrow of longtime Syrian President Bashar Assad.
The deaths of Americans in Syria and subsequent U.S. strikes on ISIS come at a sensitive moment for both governments. Al-Sharaa now faces questions about whether his fledgling administration can contain terrorist groups operating inside Syria.
At the same time, Trump has signaled an expansion of U.S. military activity elsewhere, including the possibility of direct strikes against Venezuela and increased operations targeting suspected drug trafficking vessels off its coast.
Any deeper U.S. engagement in Syria could face political resistance at home, where critics continue to question the objectives of the U.S. military presence in the country.
The United States has maintained a troop presence in Syria for years, even after Trump declared during his first term that the Islamic State had been “territorially defeated.” The fight against ISIS— which at its peak controlled large areas of Syria and neighboring Iraq—was the stated rationale for deploying U.S. ground forces to Syria.
Since then, the United States has kept roughly 900 to 1,000 troops in the country. That number rose to about 2,000 around the collapse of the Assad government to a rebel alliance in December 2024, but is believed to have since fallen back to about 1,000.
Pentagon officials say the U.S. forces are in Syria to conduct counterterrorism operations against ISIS. Some lawmakers, however, argue that recent American deaths show the troops are also targets, increasing the risk of wider instability in the region, the Times said.
BANNED' - Clinton Judge Reads Her Verdict - President Donald Trump Has Been Informed That He Just Beat Gavin Newsom...
JUDICIAL RECKONING
The return of national sovereignty and administrative lethality reached a new milestone this Thursday, April 9, 2026. A blockbuster ruling in Los Angeles has left the DNC establishment and globalist elite reeling.
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against California’s controversial "No Secret Police Act," blocking the state from prohibiting ICE agents from wearing masks. Judge Christina Snyder ruled the law unconstitutional, marking a decisive victory for President Donald J. Trump and the Department of Justice.
The court affirmed the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, stating California cannot discriminate against federal officers while exempting its own law enforcement. Attorney General Pamela Bondi praised the ruling, emphasizing the administration’s zero-tolerance stance on harassment of federal agents.
This decision reflects the 2026 mandate: a legal framework prioritizing the safety of American officers over the sanctuary policies pushed by Governor Gavin Newsom. It signals a sweeping rollback of state overreach in immigration enforcement.
Meanwhile, in Texas, a federal jury delivered historic terrorism convictions against nine members of a radical antifa cell. The group was found guilty for a violent 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility that left a police officer shot in the neck.
Ringleader Benjamin Song faces potential life imprisonment after evidence proved the attack was a coordinated assault using explosives and rifles—not the “noise demonstration” the defense claimed. Prosecutors called the verdict a landmark affirmation of Trump’s domestic terror designation.
With Kash Patel at the FBI and Todd Blanche at the DOJ, the dismantling of extremist cells has accelerated. Federal agencies continue to secure detention centers like Prairieland against those attempting to destabilize the republic.
Governor Gavin Newsom attempted to spin the court ruling as a “win,” citing the upheld “No Vigilantes Act.” But the truth remains: the centerpiece of his anti-ICE agenda—the “No Secret Police Act”—has been effectively struck down.
The defeat exposes the weakening foundation of California’s sanctuary policies. While Sacramento prioritizes the “civil rights” of illegal aliens, the Trump administration is defending the constitutional rights of federal officers.
The week closes as a sweeping administrative triumph for the Trump-GOP platform. From Los Angeles courtrooms to Texas jury boxes, real results—not rhetoric—are forging the 2026 midterm shield.
With 5% GDP growth and a secure border, the nation is reclaiming its stability and sovereignty. America moves forward with vigilance, resolve, and a renewed commitment to law and order.
God bless the USA—and the leaders who refuse to bow to the swamp or the radical mob.
oFar Left 'Squad' Member Learns Her Fate As Her Primary Election is Called
Washington D.C. — The far-left “Squad” took another massive hit Tuesday night as Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush was soundly defeated in her primary by challenger Wesley Bell, who led by double digits with 54.9% to Bush’s 41.8%.
Bush, one of the most extreme voices in Congress, joins Rep. Jamaal Bowman as the second Squad member to lose her seat this cycle. Her defeat is a clear rejection of the radical socialist, anti-police, pro-Hamas agenda she has pushed since entering Congress in 2021.
Bush rose to prominence after participating in the Ferguson riots and has spent years promoting false narratives about Michael Brown while calling for defunding the police — even as violent crime soared in her St. Louis district. She has repeatedly aligned herself with pro-Hamas protesters, blamed Israel for the October 7 massacre, and faced controversy over allegedly funneling thousands of campaign dollars to her husband for “security services” while demanding less police protection for her constituents.
Republicans celebrated the win with well-deserved mockery. Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted:
“A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! She is the second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone.”
Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, who served with Bush on the House Judiciary Committee, sarcastically noted:
“I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier added:
“The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
Even actor Michael Rapaport, a vocal Israel supporter, celebrated:
“Tonight at the rally they said let’s bring back ‘JOY’ to politics and boom CORI BUSH is done with Politics…. I feel JOY all of a sudden.”
This is the second straight blow to the radical Squad. Jamaal Bowman lost his primary earlier after endorsing pro-Hamas demonstrators on college campuses. Both Bush and Bowman blamed their defeats on pro-Israel funding from AIPAC rather than admitting the truth: their extreme, anti-American, and anti-Israel positions have become toxic to voters.
The radical left’s Squad is crumbling because the American people are rejecting their agenda of defunding police, embracing socialism, supporting radical Islamists, and putting foreign interests above American citizens. Voters want secure borders, safe streets, strong economy, and leaders who put America First — not performative radicals who miss committee meetings and push policies that hurt their own districts.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, the Republican Party is becoming the party of working Americans, law and order, and common sense. Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues its death spiral — hemorrhaging voters, losing favorability, and watching its most extreme members get rejected at the ballot box.
Cori Bush’s defeat is not just a loss for one radical congresswoman. It is a rejection of the entire Squad’s toxic ideology. The American people are waking up and choosing sanity over socialism, strength over weakness, and America First over America Last.
More Squad members are on the ballot soon. The trend is clear: radicalism is losing, and the America First movement is winning.
