Centcom commander General Michael Erik Kurilla said the United States—working with allies and partners in the region—will not allow ISIS to take advantage of the current situation in Syria and regroup.
At the same time, he announced that approximately 8,000 ISIS operatives are imprisoned throughout Syria and that the organisation aims to take advantage of the current situation in the country in order to break into detention facilities and free them.
As it also became known, the attack took place in an area previously controlled by the Assad regime and Russia.
