U.S. Central Command forces on Saturday captured Hudayfah al Yemeni, an ISIS operative, and his associates during a helicopter raid in Syria
No civilians were killed or injured in the raid, CENTCOM said.
"Operations against ISIS are important for the security and stability of the region," CENTCOM spokesman Col. Joe Buccino. "ISIS remains a threat to the region and beyond – the group retains the capability to conduct operations in Iraq and Syria with a desire to strike beyond the Middle East, and its vile ideology remains a threat."
Buccino added that such operations reaffirm the U.S.’ commitment to the "enduring defeat of ISIS."
