Two US service members were injured in Iraq during a joint US-Iraqi raid that resulted in the death of multiple ISIS operatives. The Defense Department confirmed that both injured service members are in stable condition and receiving treatment for their injuries.
The raid, conducted by US Central Command and Iraqi security forces, targeted senior ISIS leaders in the Hamrin Mountains in northern Iraq. Nine ISIS members, including a prominent leader, were killed in the operation. Additionally, large quantities of weapons, ammunition, and equipment were seized, and a workshop for manufacturing explosive devices was destroyed.
This latest raid is part of ongoing efforts by the US to combat ISIS in the region. Recent airstrikes in Syria targeted known ISIS camps, and the Pentagon continues to analyze the outcomes of these operations.
Meanwhile, tensions in the Middle East have been escalating, with Israel intensifying its actions against Hezbollah and Hamas, and the US strengthening its military presence in the region. The enduring defeat of ISIS remains a top priority for the US military, with a focus on preventing the group from regrouping and carrying out external operations.
Recent statements from the United Kingdom's MI5 highlight the resurgent threat posed by ISIS and al Qaeda, emphasizing the need for continued vigilance against terrorism.
