In a bold move signaling renewed American resolve against terrorism, U.S. warplanes have launched airstrikes on multiple ISIS targets across Syria. Fox News confirmed the operation on January 10, 2026, marking the second major strike since December 19, 2025. The attacks aim to dismantle ISIS strongholds following the deadly ambush that killed two Iowa National Guard soldiers and their American interpreter last month.
The video clip from Fox News, shared by @GuntherEagleman on X, captures anchor John Scott delivering the breaking alert: “Breaking news now, the United States has launched an attack in Syria. Good afternoon, I’m John Scott and this is The Fox Report.” The segment highlights the strikes as part of an ongoing commitment to “root out Islamic terrorism” threatening U.S. forces. Visuals include maps of Syria and Israel, underscoring the regional stakes.
U.S. officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, described the operation as a “large-scale strike campaign” targeting ISIS fighters, camps, and equipment. This comes amid President Trump’s administration prioritizing swift retaliation to protect American lives and prevent ISIS resurgence. The strikes, conducted by American warplanes, demonstrate advanced precision to minimize civilian risks while maximizing impact on terrorist infrastructure.
Critics of past policies hail this as a return to strength, contrasting with previous administrations’ perceived hesitance. As ISIS attempts to regroup in Syria’s unstable regions, these actions reaffirm U.S. leadership in global counterterrorism. No immediate casualty reports from the strikes, but officials expect them to degrade ISIS capabilities significantly.
This development has sparked widespread support on social media, with users praising the decisive action. As one X post noted, “America is BACK projecting strength.” The operation underscores the Trump administration’s “America First” approach, ensuring terrorists face consequences for attacks on U.S. personnel.
