The U.S. military said that it recently destroyed 15 sites containing Islamic State weapons caches in southern Syria.



U.S. Central Command said together with Syrian forces it identified and destroyed the storage facilities across the Rif Damashq province during multiple airstrikes and ground detonations that were conducted from November 24 to November 27.



Islamic State, the militant group that once imposed hardline Islamist rule over millions of people in Syria and Iraq, was largely crushed by a U.S.-led coalition several years ago, but has managed to rebuild and regroup.



Admiral Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, said on Sunday the operation " ensures gains made against ISIS are lasting."



U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to do everything he could to make Syria successful after the November 10 talks with Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa
