The Pentagon on Friday detailed the US firepower used to destroy a complex inside Syria that was allegedly used by an Iran-supported militia, as the White House defended the strike’s legality against a bipartisan backlash.
“Two F-15E Strike Eagles dropped seven precision guided munitions, totally destroying nine facilities and partially destroying two facilities, making them functionally destroyed,†Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said at a press conference.
“The structures were located at the Abu Kemal terrorist entry control point, located near the Syria-Iraq border on the Syrian side. This location is known to facilitate Iranian-allied militia group activity.â€
