U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed that the U.S. military carried out airstrikes in Syria to eliminate ISIS camps following the collapse of longtime leader Bashar al-Assad’s regime over the weekend.

In a lightning advance, a coalition of opposition groups took over much of the country, including the capital of Damascus, forcing Assad to flee to Russia, officials say.
