The Syrian government did not comment directly on the extensive American strikes targeting the Islamic State on Friday, but said it was intensifying its own efforts to fight the group.
The Trump administration launched military strikes in Syria to "eliminate" Islamic State group fighters in retaliation for an attack that killed two U.S. troops and an American interpreter a week ago.
American forces struck dozens of suspected ISIS sites, making good on President Trump's vow to avenge two American soldiers and a civilian U.S. interpreter killed by the group last week.
