Western Iraq raid results in the death of ISIS leaders and Iraqi Security Forces: CENTCOM
An announcement was made on Friday regarding a raid that took place on August 29 in Western Iraq.
On Friday, US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that a raid resulted in the death of 14 ISIS terror operatives in Western Iraq. Four of the operatives were ISIS leaders, including Ahmad Hamid Husayn Abd-al-Jalil al-Ithawi, Abu Hammam, Abu-‘Ali al-Tunisi, and Shakir Abud Ahmad al-Issawi. The raid occurred on August 29 and was conducted in partnership with Iraqi Security Forces. CENTCOM stated that the responsibilities of the four ISIS leaders who were killed involved military and technical operations in Iraq.
Three years after the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, Israel is looking to the lessons learned from the War on Terror, which refers to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), a Salafi-jihadist group that has carried out and inspired terrorist attacks worldwide, resulting in thousands of casualties.
The current leader of ISIS is Abu al-Hassan al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, who assumed the role in February 2022.
