U.S. Forces Attacked in Syria, State Media Says American and Syrian forces came under fire on Saturday during a joint patrol near the ancient city of Palmyra, according to the Syrian state news agency SANA. At least two members of the Syrian security forces and some U.S. forces were wounded, the agency said, citing a security source. A U.S. military official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of a lack of authorization to speak publicly about the operation called it “a serious situation” and said more details would probably be forthcoming as the Pentagon gets updates from commanders in the field.
