The attacks come after Donald Trump vowed to hit back after an attack last weekend in Syria by a suspected Islamic State member. A US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, described the strikes as a large-scale response that included targets across central Syria. Two US Iowa national guard members and a civilian interpreter were killed on Saturday in the central Syrian town of Palmyra by an attacker who targeted a convoy of American and Syrian forces before being shot dead, according to the US military.
