Ammon News - The U.S. military said on Sunday that it recently destroyed 15 sites containing Islamic State weapons caches in southern Syria.

U.S. Central Command said it and Syrian forces identified and destroyed the storage facilities across the Rif Damashq province during multiple airstrikes and ground detonations that were conducted from November 24 to November 27.

"The combined operation destroyed over 130 mortars and rockets, multiple assault rifles, machine guns, anti-tank mines, and materials for building improvised explosive devices," CENTCOM said in a statement.

Admiral Brad Cooper, CENTCOM commander, said on Sunday the operation "ensures gains made against ISIS are lasting."
