The US conducted its first strike inside Syria since the invasion of Iraq in 2003. Nine people were reported killed after US commandos dropped from helicopters conducted a raid in in the town of Sukkariya near Albu Kamal in eastern Syria. The target was Abu Ghadiya, a senior al Qaeda leader who has been in charge of the Syrian network since 2005.
