The US President Donald Trump had launched the Operation Hawkeye Strike on 19 December last year, in response to the ISIS attack on US and Syrian forces in Palmyra, Syria, on 13 December 2025.
According to the US forces, an ISIS terrorist had conducted the Palmyra. Two US soldiers and one US civilian interpreter had lost their lives in the attack.
The soldiers were identified as Sgt. Edgar Brian Torres Tovar (25) of Des Moines, Iowa, and Sgt. William Nathaniel Howard (29) of Marshalltown, Iowa. They were members of the Iowa National Guard. They were part of the 1,800 troops deployed to the Middle East in 2025 as part of Operation Inherent Resolve against ISIS.
