Beirut: The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced Sunday: US military personnel and Syria's Interior Ministry successfully destroyed more than 15 sites containing ISIS (Daesh) weapons caches in southern Syria.

According to Anadolu Agency, the operation, which spanned four days between Nov. 24 and 27, involved collaboration between US and Syrian forces in the Rif Damashq province. The teams utilized multiple airstrikes and ground detonations to identify and eliminate the ISIS storage facilities, as reported by CENTCOM.

The joint effort resulted in the destruction of over 130 mortars and rockets, along with multiple assault rifles, machine guns, anti-tank mines, and materials necessary for building improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Forces also reported discovering and destroying illicit drugs during the operation.

CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper emphasized the significance of the operation, stating that it "ensures gains made against ISIS are lasting and the group is not able to regenerate or export terrorist attacks to the US homeland and around the world." He further asserted, "We will remain vigilant and continue to aggressively pursue ISIS remnants in Syria."
