Secretive American task force dropped 2,000 pound bomb on Syria's largest dam in 2017, despite Pentagon placing it on a 'no-strike' list, The New York Times reports
A secretive US military unit targeted a dam in Syria’s northern Raqqah Province four years ago despite the structure being on the Pentagon’s “no-strike list” of protected civilian sites, a new report says.
The US was blamed by ISIS, Russia, and the Syrian government for the strike, which then-Lieutenant-General Stephen J. Townsend said was "crazy reporting."
