The Soldiers were a part of an element conducting a key leader engagement. The attacker was eliminated by partner forces.

Their mission was in support of ongoing counter-ISIS\/counter-terrorism operations in the region,&#8221; he added, noting that &#8220;The soldiers&#8217; names, as well as identifying information about their units, are being withheld until 24 hours after the next of kin notification. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Secretary of War Pete Hegseth added that, &#8220;The savage who perpetrated this attack was killed by partner forces.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let it be known, if you target Americans &#8212; anywhere in the world &#8212; you will spend the rest of your brief, anxious life knowing the United States will hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you,&#8221; Hegseth also said in a post on X.<\/p>\n<p>Parnell said the attack is currently under investigation. A Pentagon official told Fox News Digital that the attack unfolded in a place where the Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa does not have control and initial assessments show it likely was carried out by the Islamic State terrorist group.<\/p>\n<p>A senior U.S. official earlier confirmed to Fox News there were multiple injuries after American service members were ambushed in Syria.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The United States, CIA and military forces are reportedly deeply involved in securing and stabilizing the situation in Syria,&#8221; Dan Diker, president of the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, recently told Fox News Digital.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Additional Reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Norman, G., &amp; Griffin, J.
