US launches airstrikes on ISIS targets in Syria following Assad's regime collapse

U.S. forces conducted airstrikes on over 75 ISIS targets in Syria, using B-52s, F-15s, and A-10s. The strikes aimed to disrupt ISIS operations amid the recent collapse of Bashar Assad's regime, which has led to a shift in power dynamics in the region. President Biden described the fall of Assad's government as a "fundamental act of justice," highlighting the potential for Syrians to rebuild after years of conflict. He noted that Assad's whereabouts are currently unknown, with reports suggesting he may have fled to Russia. Syrian rebels have taken control of Homs, celebrating the end of Assad's rule. This marks a significant change in the ongoing civil war, as insurgents advance toward the capital, Damascus, amid widespread public celebrations.
