Two US service members were injured in Iraq in a joint US-Iraqi raid overnight that killed “multiple ISIS operatives,” according to a Defense Department spokesperson. “My understanding is that both of them are in stable condition being treated for their injuries,” Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder said at a briefing. Ryder did not say how they were injured or where they were being treated. “Overnight, CENTCOM [US Central Command] and Iraqi security forces conducted a partner raid in Iraq targeting several senior ISIS leaders,” said Ryder. “The raid resulted in the death of multiple ISIS operatives.” According to a statement by Iraqi Joint Operations Command, nine ISIS members were killed in the raid, including “the so-called criminal governor of Wali Iraq called Jassim Al-Mazrouei Abu Abdul Qader and other leaders from the front line.” 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.
