American-led forces and their Syrian Kurdish allies have carried out their biggest joint operation against the Islamic State group since President Trump ordered a pullback of U.S. forces in Syria. We get more from AP's Ben Thomas.

The U.S.-led coalition says its forces along with hundreds of U.S.-allied Syrian Kurdish commandos took part in an operation in southeastern Syria Friday, capturing dozens of Islamic State militants, clearing IS compounds and seizing weapons and explosives.
The news came on the same day Vice President Mike Pence visited Iraq in an effort to reassure Kurdish allies in the region, telling reporters President Trump's commitment to our allies here in Iraq as well as to those in the Syrian defense forces, the Kurdish forces who fought alongside us, is unchanging.
President Trump's pullback of American forces in Syria opened the door for a cross-border offensive against the Kurds last month by Turkey.

美国领导的军队及其叙利亚库尔德盟友实施了最大规模的联合行动，针对的是IS。最大规模是相较于特朗普总统下令将美军从叙利亚撤出后所有军事行动的规模大小而言。
美国领导的联盟称其军力加上上百个与美国联盟的叙利亚库尔德突击队都参加了周五在叙利亚东南部的行动，逮捕了数十名IS激进分子，清理了IS的一些围区，还缴获了一些武器和爆炸物。
同一天，有消息传来说副总统迈克·彭斯访问了伊拉克，目的是让该地区的库尔德盟友放心。彭斯对记者说，特朗普总统对伊拉克该地区盟友、叙利亚民主力量盟友（与我们并肩作战的库尔德军队）的承诺是不会变的。
上个月，特朗普让美军撤离叙利亚的决定为土耳其的跨境袭击敞开了便利之门。
