The airstrikes, which are believed to be carried out without the consent of the Syrian regime, are underway, the same resource added.
"I can confirm that U.S. military and partner nation forces are undertaking military action against ISIL terrorists in Syria using a mix of fighter, bomber and Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles," the Pentagon said in a statement.
'The decision to conduct theses strikes was made earlier today by the U.S. Central Command commander under authorization granted him by the commander in chief. We will provide more details later as operationally appropriate," it added.
