ISIS gunman kills two Iowa National Guard members in Syria terrorist attack. Community mourns loss of Nate Howard and fellow soldier in tragic incident.

The shooting happened during a mission by U.S. and Syrian forces in a historic central town near Palmyra on Saturday. President Trump and U.S. military officials attributed the attack to ISIS.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. sees no truth in the claim that the Philippines is an "ISIS training hotspot" as the government has found no proof showing the two suspects in Australia's recent terror attack received training during their November visit to the country.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said two gunmen who killed 15 people at a Jewish holiday celebration were motivated by the Islamic State.

The men suspected of attacking a Jewish gathering on Bondi Beach were inspired by the ISIS terror group and spent weeks last month in the Philippines, officials say.

The black flag of the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, is no longer associated with the sprawling territorial “caliphate” the group once controlled in the Syrian desert. It no longer serves as a banner beckoning Islamist militant recruits from across the globe or as the symbol of an organization with tight operational control over its terrorist plots and media profile.

President Donald Trump is vowing “big damage” on ISIS after the terrorist group ambushed U.S. troops in Syria, killing two soldiers and an American interpreter and wounding three others.
