The U.S. military has struck a number of Islamic State group camps in Syria this week, killing as many as 35 militants, U.S. Central Command said Wednesday.
The airstrikes in the desert of central Syria were done Monday evening and targeted multiple locations and senior leaders of the group. The attacks came on the heels of a number of joint operations with Iraqi forces that targeted IS militants in Iraq.
Wednesday's announcement marked the continuation of a considerable uptick in attacks and raids against ISIS suspects in Syria and Iraq, according to CBS News senior national security correspondent Charlie D'Agata. Two U.S. service members were wounded in a separate joint raid in Iraq last week.
