2 ISIS members killed in US raid
ISTANBUL (AA) – Two ISIS members were killed in a US helicopter raid conducted in eastern Syria on Sunday, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said.
Anas, an ISIS official involved in the group’s plotting and facilitation operations in eastern Syria, is one of the officials killed, the CENTCOM said in a statement.
Initial assessments indicate no civilians were killed or injured, it added.
“ISIS continues to represent a threat to the security and stability of the region. This operation reaffirms CENTCOM’s steadfast commitment to ensuring the group’s enduring defeat,” said Joe Buccino, a CENTCOM spokesperson.
“The death of these ISIS officials will disrupt the terrorist organization’s ability to further plot and carry out destabilizing attacks in the Middle East.”
