U.S. Airstrikes on ISIS targets in Somalia \u2013 February 1, 2025 (screenshot)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

President Trump, on Saturday evening, put enemies of the American people on notice, demonstrating the consequences of wishing to harm the American people with a video of U.S. airstrikes on ISIS targets in Somalia earlier in the day.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said in a\u00a0statement Saturday,<\/p>\n

At President Trump\u2019s direction and in coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, we\u00a0authorized U.S. Africa Command to conduct coordinated airstrikes today targeting ISIS-Somalia operatives in the Golis mountains.<\/p>\n

Our initial assessment is that multiple operatives were killed in the airstrikes and no civilians were harmed.\u00a0This action further degrades ISIS\u2019s ability to plot and conduct terrorist attacks threatening U.S. citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians and sends a clear signal that the United States always stands ready to find and eliminate terrorists who threaten the United States and our allies, even as we conduct robust border-protection and many other operations under President Trump\u2019s leadership.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Notably, this strike comes after President Trump redesignated the Houthi Muslims as foreign terrorists after Biden revoked their terrorist status in 2021. He also designated the cartels smuggling humans and deadly fentanyl across our borders as terrorists.<\/p>\n

Pete Hegseth\u00a0recently said, \u201cAll options are on the table,\u201d when he was asked if the U.S. will use military force against the cartels in Mexico.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The President released an unclassified video of the airstrikes, which \u201ckilled many,\u201d including the ISIS Attack Planner who was targeted in the attack:<\/p>\n

This strike also comes exactly one month after the\u00a0New Year\u2019s Day terror attack\u00a0in New Orleans, which killed 14 and injured dozens. A\u00a0driver in a white pick-up truck intentionally plowed a car into a crowd of New Year\u2019s gatherers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans and began firing a weapon at police officers. The terrorist,\u00a0identified\u00a0as 42-year-old Army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar, was later\u00a0discovered\u00a0to have set up a bomb-making station in his home, where he left a Quran opened to a passage about martyrdom.<\/p>\n

As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump announced on Saturday morning that he ordered precision air strikes on an ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists who \u201cthreatened the United States and our Allies\u201d in Somalia after the U.S. military found them hiding in caves. \u201cThe strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians,\u201d the President said.<\/p>\n

He said that the ISIS official was \u201ctargeted for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn\u2019t act quickly enough to get the job done. I did!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!\u201d the President also said in a message to ISIS \u201cand all others who would attack Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n
