A U.S. official said that the attack was conducted using F-15 Eagle jets, A-10 Thunderbolt ground attack aircraft and AH-64 Apache helicopters.
The moves comes after U.S. forces last week seized an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast.
The U.S. currently has hundreds of troops deployed in eastern Syria as part of a coalition fighting the Islamic State group.
The service on Friday salvaged an F/A-18F Super Hornet and MH-60R Seahawk helicopter that crashed in the South China Sea on Oct. 26.
