An attack by an alleged Islamic State member in Syria has killed two U.S. service members and one American civilian.

U.S. service members and an American civilian were killed in a shooting in central Syria during ongoing counter-ISIS operations, highlighting the persistent threat posed by insurgent violence despite the group’s territorial defeat and the continued risks faced by U.
