President Donald Trump said Saturday that there will be “very serious retaliation” after two US soldiers and one civilian interpreter were killed in an ambush in Syria on Saturday.

Two U.S. soldiers and an interpreter were killed in an ambush by an apparent ISIS gunman in Syria Saturday, officials said.

Sharaa’s efforts to unify the country and rebuild relationships with the international community, analysts say.

Fox News contributor Dan Hoffman breaks down the ISIS ambush in Palmyra, Syria, that killed two U.S. soldiers and an interpreter and prompted President Trump to vow retaliation.

The Department of War told Fox News Digital it is aware of reports that American troops have come under fire Saturday in the central Syrian town of Palmyra.

The killing of three Americans during what was said to be a counterterrorism operation in central Syria served as a reminder that U.S. troops are still operating in the country.

Since the fall of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad last December, the Trump administration has embraced the new Syrian leader, Ahmed al-Sharaa, who has ties to Al Qaida. The Islamic State, which the U.S. declared in 2019 was mostly defeated, has remained a threat in Syria and has continued to conduct attacks since Assad’s departure.
