The Pentagon says US Central Command forces have killed two operatives for the ISIS militant group in an airstrike in Syria.
The US military said the airstrike Monday in Deir Ezzour Province was aimed at ISIS militants who were moving a truckload of weapons, which was destroyed. Another ISIS operative was wounded, The Associated Press said.
Central Command said the area was formerly controlled by former President Bashar Assad’s regime and its Russian supporters. Assad fled to Moscow after opposition forces seized control of Damascus earlier this month and ended his family’s 50 years of iron rule.

Hundreds of members of the main opposition group that overthrew former President Bashar Assad from power marched through the streets of the capital in a show of force.
The fighters with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS, gathered at the Abbasiyeen square on Friday afternoon before driving vehicles mounted with heavy machine guns through different neighborhoods of Damascus.
The show of force by HTS came days after members of Assad’s minority Alawite sect protested in different parts of the country, leading to exchanges of fire in some areas.
Until Assad’s fall earlier this month, Alawites held senior positions in the military and security agencies in Syria. HTS fighters are Sunni Muslims who are the majority sect in the country.
