Here is a clear, rewritten version with the same meaning but smoother flow and original wording:
Two U.S. Army service members and a civilian U.S. interpreter were killed Saturday during an attack in Palmyra, Syria, according to the Pentagon.
The assault also injured three additional U.S. personnel. The Pentagon said the incident took place during a “key leader engagement” connected to ongoing counter-ISIS missions. The details were shared in a statement posted on X by Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell.

Parnell said the attack remains under active investigation. The identities of the fallen soldiers and information about their units are being withheld until at least 24 hours after their families have been notified.
A Pentagon official told NBC News that the attack occurred in an area not controlled by the Syrian government, and early assessments suggest ISIS was responsible.
In a separate post on X, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the attacker was killed by U.S. partner forces, though he did not provide further details about the individual or the forces involved.
“The savage who carried out this attack was eliminated by partner forces,” Hegseth wrote, warning that anyone who targets Americans will be relentlessly pursued and killed by the United States.
Meanwhile, Syria’s Interior Ministry spokesperson, Nour al-Din al-Baba, said on state television that internal security officials had previously warned partner forces operating in the Badia region about a possible Islamic State attack. He claimed the U.S.-led coalition failed to take those warnings seriously.
