“On 29 November and 3 December 2024, USAF A-10s were used against targets
in Syria to
defend US forces in eastern Syria as part of the ongoing Syrian
civil war. The USAF said the strikes destroyed vehicles, mortars, and
a T-64 tank.[130] Concurrent
with the fall of the Assad regime on 8
December, A-10s participated alongside B-52s and F-15Es in what the USAF
said were "dozens" of airstrikes against over 75 ISIS targets. The
strikes were intended to prevent ISIS from benefitting from the political
upheaval in Syria.[131]”

"The Syrian civil war
has exploded again leading to the United States Air Force executing an A-10
Warthog gun run against Iranian backed proxy militias. Just when you think the
A-10 is ready to retire it comes out swinging. The strike KOed three rocket artillery
trucks, a T-64 tank, an Armored Personnel Carrier, and a mortar battery.
Today I want to try to
untangle this absolute cluster f--k of a situation and investigate whether the
US really backed the rebels with material support to overthrow Assad. Why did
Syria, Russian and Iranian forces fail to hold the line? Who is this mysterious
rebel group that’s taken over the country? All these questions are important
but the most important thing is that hopefully the Syrian people themselves
stop getting the short end of the stick in the outcome.
According to US Central Command, These strikes were conducted “in self defense”. They claim the gun run was to neutralize an imminent attack that was aimed at the nearby [US] Military Support Site code named “Euphrate” which is a US-led coalition base that’s traded fire with both ISIS and Iranian proxies before."
