Elite U.S. troops swoop into ISIS stronghold, reportedly kill dozens
BEIRUT -- A U.S.-led special forces raid on Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militants in eastern Syria has reportedly left two dozen of the jihadist fighters dead.
The U.S. military command in Baghdad confirmed American forces’ involvement in the raid, which took place on Sunday, without elaborating.
Omar Abou Leila, a Syrian activist who runs the Deir Ezzor 24 group, said four helicopters landed in the desert between the ISIS-held cities of Deir el-Zour and Raqqa on Sunday. Commandos set up checkpoints and intercepted a vehicle carrying several ISIS militants, killing all of them and flying off with the bodies, he said.

In Syria, I don't think I've seen many news articles where our troops actually go into Syria in an active way, usually, we have advisors helping the Kurds for example.
