10. Ambush In Syria Leaves Two U.S. Troops, Civilian Interpreter Dead

Two U.S. troops and a U.S. civilian interpreter were killed and three were wounded in Syria today during a “key leader engagement,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced on X. U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said the troops were ambushed by a lone gunman, who was killed.

The U.S. still has around a thousand troops deployed in eastern Syria as part of a coalition fighting the Islamic State group.

“Last month, Syria joined the international coalition fighting against the IS as Damascus improves its relations with Western countries following last year’s fall of President Bashar Assad when insurgents captured his seat of power in Damascus,” the wire service added.
