Trump Issues Stern Warning After Airstrikes on ISIS in Somalia

[Social Media]

 

Donald Trump has sent a strong message to America’s enemies following precision military airstrikes on senior Islamic State (ISIS) operatives in Somalia. “We will find you, and we will kill you,” the former president declared in a statement released on social media.  

 

 

Trump announced that he had personally ordered the strikes against a senior ISIS attack planner and other terrorists under his command. “This morning I ordered precision military air strikes on the senior Isis attack planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia,” he stated.  

This morning I ordered precision Military air strikes on the Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia. These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies. The strikes destroyed the caves they live in,…

While he did not name the specific individuals targeted, Trump made it clear that they posed a direct threat to the United States and its allies. “These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our allies. The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians,” he said.  

 

In his statement, Trump took aim at President Joe Biden and his administration, claiming that they had failed to act decisively in eliminating this particular threat. “Our military has targeted this Isis attack planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn’t act quickly enough to get the job done. I did!”  

 

Trump closed his remarks with a final warning to terrorist organizations: “The message to Isis and all others who would attack Americans is that ‘we will find you and we will kill you!’” His words echoed a famous line from the 2008 action film *Taken*, in which Liam Neeson’s character delivers a similar warning to his enemies.  

 

Despite Trump's criticism of Biden, the recent strikes align with U.S. counterterrorism efforts under the current administration. In December, the U.S. launched airstrikes against ISIS targets in Syria, responding to concerns that the terror group might regain strength as the situation in the region remains unstable.  

 

Biden addressed these operations by reaffirming the U.S. commitment to preventing ISIS from regaining a foothold. “We’re clear-eyed about the fact that Isis will try to take advantage of any vacuum to re-establish its capabilities to create a safe haven,” Biden said. “We will not let that happen.”  

 

Those strikes, which involved B-52 bombers, F-15 fighter jets, and A-10 ground attack aircraft, successfully targeted ISIS leaders, operatives, and training camps, according to CNN. The U.S. military remains active in the fight against the group, ensuring that ISIS is unable to rebuild its networks or threaten global security.  

 

As Trump and Biden exchange words over their approaches to combating ISIS, the U.S. continues to employ precision military tactics to prevent the resurgence of terrorist organizations.
