US forces, in partnership with local groups in Syria, conducted more than 22 operations against the Islamic State (ISIS) between October 1st and November 6th
The result: five terrorists were killed and another 19 captured.
The actions weakened the group’s ability to operate within Syria and spread violence to other countries.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) released the information on Wednesday, highlighting that the missions were planned and supported by the US military, but executed in conjunction with Syrian allies.
“Our success against the ISIS threat in Syria is a significant achievement,” stated Admiral Brad Cooper, commander of CENTCOM.
He vowed to continue pursuing the group’s remnants to prevent it from reorganizing or exporting terrorist attacks.
ISIS seized control of large swathes of Syria and Iraq in 2014, declaring a “caliphate” in the territories it controlled.
Since then, military offensives-many supported by a US-led international coalition-have stripped the group of almost all territory, including its makeshift capital, Raqqa, in Syria.
Even so, ISIS sleeper cells still exist in the region and continue to carry out deadly attacks.
The United States maintains troops in Syria precisely to combat the group.
In recent years, the international coalition has eliminated dozens of ISIS leaders and members in airstrikes, including the group’s leader in eastern Syria, who was killed in July 2023.
In a recent breakthrough, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa announced this week that Syria has officially joined the Global Coalition Against ISIS, becoming its 90th member country.
This reinforces the joint effort to ensure that victories against terrorism in the region are lasting.
