A deadly Islamic State (ISIS) attack has struck U.S. forces stationed in central Syria, killing three Americans and injuring several others in a volatile region near Palmyra, according to U.S. Central Command. Officials confirm that two U.S. service members and one civilian interpreter were killed when a lone ISIS gunman opened fire on a military post operating outside full Syrian government control. Three additional U.S. soldiers were wounded in the assault and were airlifted to the Al Tanf garrison. Trump has strongly condemned the attack, calling it an act of ISIS terrorism and vowing "very serious retaliation" against those responsible. WATCH
