The White House and United States President Donald Trump have issued a strong response following a deadly attack in Syria that resulted in the deaths of two American soldiers and a civilian interpreter.
The incident, which also left three US service members wounded, has been attributed to the Islamic State (ISIS), according to statements from US officials.
In a message shared via verified social media accounts, Trump expressed deep sorrow over the loss, honoring the victims as American heroes who died in the line of duty. He also extended prayers and well wishes to the injured soldiers, noting that official confirmation indicates they are in stable condition and responding to medical treatment.
The statement described the attack as having taken place in a highly volatile region of Syria, an area where government control remains weak and security challenges persist. According to Trump, the assault was directed at both US forces and Syrian interests, highlighting the continued threat posed by extremist groups operating within the country despite years of military pressure.
Trump further revealed that Syria’s President, Ahmed al-Sharaa, has reacted with anger and distress over the incident, signaling rare alignment between US and Syrian concerns regarding ISIS violence. The former president emphasized that the attack has sparked serious outrage and warned that a forceful response would follow, suggesting that those responsible would face decisive consequences.
The attack has once again drawn attention to the dangers confronting US troops deployed in Syria as part of counterterrorism operations. American forces have frequently been targeted by militant groups through bombings, rocket attacks, and ambushes in recent years.
