FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TAMPA, Fla. – Since August 29, in partnership with security forces in Iraq and Syria, U.S. Central Command (USCENTCOM) conducted 95 Defeat ISIS (D-ISIS) operations, some of which included unilateral strikes in Syria. These operations resulted in 163 terrorists killed and 33 captured, including over 30 senior and mid-level ISIS leaders.
These successful operations resulted in the seizure of significant enemy materiel that could aid in future disruptions.
Sustained pressure on ISIS leaders has constrained their ability to operate and to plan attacks.
“Alongside our coalition and Iraqi partners, we will continue to aggressively pursue these terrorists and disrupt their capability to conduct operations against U.S. interests, as well as those of our allies and partners,” said Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla, commander of U.S. Central Command.
