US Attacks Islamic State Targets in Syria
Published on: September 23, 2014 08:02 (EAT)
John Kirby, the Pentagon Spokesman said that fighter and bomber jets and Tomahawk missiles were used in the attack.
The strikes were part of President Barack Obama's pledge to degrade and destroy IS which has taken huge swathes of Syria and Iraq.
The US has already launched 190 air strikes in Iraq since August.
Monday's action however expands the campaign against the militant group across the national border into Syria.
