US forces and Iraqi security forces killed more than a dozen ISIS operatives in an early morning raid Thursday in western Iraq, the US military said. The 15 ISIS operatives who were killed were “armed with numerous weapons, grenades, and explosive ‘suicide’ belts,” US Central Command said in a statement Friday. There was no indication of any civilian casualties, CENTCOM said. “This operation targeted ISIS leaders to disrupt and degrade ISIS’ ability to plan, organize, and conduct attacks against Iraqi civilians, as well as U.S. citizens, allies, and partners throughout the region and beyond,” according to the statement. The US military said the Iraqi security forces are working “to further exploit the locations raided,” as ISIS remains a “threat to the region, our allies, as well as our homeland.” CENTCOM said the US will continue to aggressively pursue ISIS operatives with coalition and Iraqi partners.
