US strikes back at militants in Syria after rocket assaults

The U.S. military said it lashed back at Iranian-backed forces in Syria after rockets were fired at two bases where Americans are stationed.

Attack helicopters killed two or three people believed to have been involved in one of the rocket attacks and destroyed three vehicles along with equipment, the U.S. Central Command said in a statement on Wednesday night.

The operation unfolded after rockets struck Mission Support Site Conoco and near Mission Support Site Green Village, according to Centcom. One American service member was treated for a minor injury and went back to duty. Two others were being evaluated for injuries.
