Jordan's army took part in United States-led strikes targeting Islamic State positions in Syria, according to state-owned Jordan TV. The report did not specify the extent of Jordan's involvement in the operation. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights stated that at least five members of the militant group were killed, including the leader of a drone cell. United States forces said the strikes targeted more than seventy locations in response to a recent attack that resulted in the deaths of two United States soldiers and a civilian.
