Two U.S. service members were injured in Iraq in a joint U.S.-Iraqi raid overnight that killed 맥스카지노�multiple ISIS operatives,맥스카지노� according to a Defense Department spokesperson.맥스카지노�My understanding is that both of them are in stable condition being treated for their injuries,맥스카지노� Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder said at a briefing.Ryder did not say how they were injured. A defense official said Wednesday that both service members had been transferred to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany and were still in stable condition.맥스카지노�Overnight, CENTCOM and Iraqi security forces conducted a partner raid in Iraq targeting several senior ISIS leaders,맥스카지노� said Ryder. 맥스카지노�The raid resulted in the death of multiple ISIS operatives.맥스카지노�A release from CENTCOM on Wednesday morning said at least seven operatives were killed in the operation, which included both 맥스카지노�strikes and follow on raids맥스카지노� on multiple ISIS locations, 맥스카지노�targeting several senior ISIS leaders.맥스카지노� The release did not name the leaders who were targeted.According to a statement by Iraqi Joint Operations Command, nine ISIS members were killed in the raid, including 맥스카지노�the so-called criminal governor of Wali Iraq called Jassim Al-Mazrouei Abu Abdul Qader and other leaders from the front line.맥스카지노�DNA tests are still being conducted to identify other ISIS members who were killed in the raid, according to the statement, which also said the raid took place in the Hamrin Mountains in northern Iraq.The statement also said that the raid resulted in the seizure of 맥스카지노�large quantities of weapons, ammunition and equipment맥스카지노� and the destruction of 맥스카지노�a large workshop for booby-trapping and manufacturing explosive devices.맥스카지노�The raid is the latest operation involving the U.S. against ISIS since CENTCOM said that U.S. forces conducted airstrikes in Syria earlier this month against multiple known ISIS camps.Ryder also said that the department is still conducting 맥스카지노�post-mission analysis맥스카지노� on this latest overnight raid and would share more information subsequently.The raid is also the latest 맥스카지노�partnered맥스카지노� operation between US and Iraqi forces, months after Iraq postponed announcing an end-date for the US-led military coalition맥스카지노�s presence in the country amid rising tensions in the Middle East.Iraq맥스카지노�s Higher Military Commission had aimed to propose an end date for Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S. military operation combatting ISIS.맥스카지노�We were very close to announcing this agreement, but due to recent developments, the announcement of the end of the international coalition맥스카지노�s military mission in Iraq was postponed,맥스카지노� a statement by Iraq맥스카지노�s foreign ministry said, without giving further details on what the 맥스카지노�recent developments.맥스카지노�Since that statement, tensions in the region have only escalated. Israel has intensified its war against Hezbollah in Lebanon while continuing the war against Hamas in Gaza and promising a response against Iran for a missile attack against Israel.And the Pentagon has only strengthened the U.S. military presence in the Middle East since last year, with roughly 40,000 U.S. troops in the region as of August. The U.S. has also continued operations to target ISIS in the Middle East and Africa.맥스카지노�We are committed to the enduring defeat of ISIS because of the threat they pose both regionally and globally,맥스카지노� CENTCOM commander Gen. Erik Kurilla said in April. 맥스카지노�We continue to focus our efforts on specifically targeting those members of ISIS who are seeking to conduct external operations outside of Iraq and Syria and those ISIS members attempting to break out ISIS members in detention in an attempt to reconstitute their forces.맥스카지노�Earlier this month, the head of the United Kingdom맥스카지노�s domestic security service MI5 said that ISIS, along with al Qaeda, are presenting a 맥스카지노�resurgent맥스카지노� threat.맥스카지노�After a few years of being pinned well back, they맥스카지노�ve resumed efforts to export terrorism,맥스카지노� MI5맥스카지노�s Director General Ken McCallum said in a speech in London.
