'We will find you' US launches 'revenge strikes' against Isis after terrorists kill three Americans

The US and its partner forces have launched "large-scale" airstrikes against Islamic State terrorists in Syria.

US Central Command confirmed the strikes took place at 5.30pm today.

US President Donald Trump directed the strikes as part of his retaliatory Operation Hawkeye Strike.

The first strikes took place in Syria little less than a month ago, following a deadly attack by Isis terrorists.

Isis killed two American soldiers and one US civilian interpreter in an ambush attack on December 13.

The US President vowed to "retaliate" over the strikes toward the end of last year.

In a new statement, US Central Command said: "Our message remains strong: if you harm our warfighters, we will find you and kill you anywhere in the world, no matter how hard you try to evade justice."

The US and its partner forces fired more than 90 precision munitions at over 35 targets in an operation that involved more than 20 aircraft.

F-15Es, A-10s, AC-130Js, MQ-9s and Jordanian F-16s took part in today's operation.

However, the location of the strikes and the extent of any casualties is not yet clear.

Before today's strikes, American forces have captured or killed nearly 25 Isis group members in 11 missions between December 20 and December 29.
