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.
Both soldiers were deployed with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, which is currently conducting ongoing counter-terrorism operations in the region.
The U.S. currently has hundreds of troops deployed in eastern Syria as part of a coalition fighting the Islamic State group.
