US conducts airstrikes on ISIS targets in Syria after regime change

The U.S. launched airstrikes against over 75 ISIS targets in Syria following the fall of President Bashar al-Assad's regime. The strikes aimed to prevent ISIS from exploiting the power vacuum created by the regime change. U.S. Central Command confirmed the airstrikes, which targeted ISIS leaders, operatives, and camps. This military action occurred just after rebel groups took control of Damascus, ending Assad's 24-year rule. President-elect Donald Trump suggested the U.S. should avoid involvement in Syria, calling it a "mess." His stance contrasts with President Joe Biden's view of the situation as a "historic opportunity" for the Syrian people.
