President Trump vowed on Saturday to retaliate against the Islamic State after an attack in central Syria killed two U.S. Army soldiers and a civilian U.S. interpreter, the first American casualties in the country since the fall of the dictator Bashar al-Assad last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis was an ISIS attack against the U.S., and Syria, in a very dangerous part of Syria,\u201d Mr. Trump wrote on Truth Social. \u201cThere will be very serious retaliation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The soldiers were supporting counterterrorism operations against the Islamic State group in Palmyra, a city in central Syria, when they came under fire from a lone gunman, according to American officials.
