Two U.S. Army soldiers and a civilian interpreter were killed and three others were injured in an ambush by a gunman from the ISIS terrorist group in Syria on Dec. 13, according to the Pentagon and U.S. Central Command.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement on social media that the attack occurred in the central Syrian town of Palmyra as U.S. forces were conducting a key leader engagement in support of ongoing counter-ISIS and counterterrorism operations.
