President Donald Trump is traveling to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Wednesday for a dignified transfer for the two Iowa National Guard members killed in an attack in the Syrian desert that is testing the rapprochement between Washington and Damascus.

The shooting happened during a mission by U.S. and Syrian forces in a historic central town near Palmyra on Saturday. President Trump and U.S. military officials attributed the attack to ISIS.

Former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is living in near-isolation in Russia, sidelined by President Vladimir Putin, one year after fleeing Syria following the collapse of his rule, according to a detailed report by The Guardian.

An attack by an alleged Islamic State member in Syria has killed two U.S. service members and one American civilian.

The killing of three Americans in Syria by an ISIS fighter over the weekend highlighted U.S. military presence in the Middle Eastern country, more than five years after the territorial defeat of the Islamic State.

President Donald Trump offered his condolences to the victims of a trio of attacks at Brown University, in Sydney, Australia, and in Syria on Sunday.
