WASHINGTON — A joint U.S.-Iraqi operation in Iraq resulted⁤ in injuries ⁤to two American service members and the elimination of several ISIS operatives, as confirmed by a representative from the Defense Department.

Pentagon press secretary Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder, during a press briefing, assured that ‌both service members are in stable ‌condition and are receiving treatment ‍for their injuries.

Details regarding the nature of their injuries were not disclosed by Ryder.⁣ However, a defense official confirmed on Wednesday ‍that both service members have been moved to Landstuhl Regional Medical​ Center⁢ in Germany and are maintaining stable health conditions.

“U.S. Central Command ‌(CENTCOM) and ‍Iraqi security forces‍ executed a partnered raid in Iraq, ⁣targeting high-ranking ISIS leaders,”⁣ Ryder stated. ⁢”The operation led to the elimination of several ISIS operatives.”

A statement released by the U.S. Central Command on Wednesday morning⁤ revealed ⁢that⁤ the operation, which ‌involved ‍both strikes and ‍subsequent ⁣raids ‌on multiple ISIS locations, resulted in the death of at least seven‌ operatives. The statement did not disclose the identities of the targeted ⁣leaders.

According to the Iraqi Joint Operations Command, the operation resulted in ⁣the death of nine ISIS members, including Jassim Al-Mazrouei Abu Abdul ⁢Qader, the self-proclaimed criminal governor of ⁤Wali Iraq, and⁢ other frontline leaders.

DNA tests are ‍currently underway to identify other ISIS⁣ members who were eliminated in the operation, which took place in the Hamrin Mountains in northern Iraq, as per the statement. The operation also led to the confiscation of a significant amount of weapons, ammunition, and equipment, and the destruction of a large workshop used for booby-trapping and manufacturing explosive devices.

This operation is the⁤ most recent U.S. action against ISIS since the U.S. Central Command announced earlier this⁤ month that ​U.S. forces had conducted airstrikes in⁤ Syria against multiple known ISIS camps.

Ryder also mentioned that the department is still conducting a “post-mission analysis” on ⁣this latest overnight⁣ operation and will share more information in due course.

This operation is also the latest in a⁢ series of “partnered” operations between U.S. and Iraqi forces, following Iraq’s decision to postpone the announcement of an end-date for the U.S.-led military coalition’s presence in the country due to escalating tensions ⁣in the Middle East.

The Higher Military Commission of Iraq had intended to propose an end date for Operation⁢ Inherent Resolve, the ⁣U.S. military operation against ISIS.

“We ​were on the ‌verge of announcing this agreement, but due to recent ​developments,‌ the announcement of the ​end of the international coalition’s military mission ⁣in Iraq was postponed,” a statement by⁤ Iraq’s foreign ministry said, without providing further details on the “recent developments.”

Since that statement, tensions in the region have only escalated. Israel⁤ has intensified its war against Hezbollah in Lebanon while continuing the ⁤war against Hamas in Gaza and promising a response against Iran for a⁤ missile attack against Israel.

Moreover, the ⁤Pentagon has only ‍increased the U.S. military presence in the Middle ⁣East since last year, with approximately ⁤40,000 US ⁢troops in the region as of August. The U.S. has ⁤also‍ continued operations to target ISIS in the Middle East and Africa.

“We are ‍committed​ to ⁢the enduring defeat of ISIS because of the⁤ threat they pose both regionally and globally,” commander Gen. Erik Kurilla said in April.⁣ “We continue to focus our efforts on specifically targeting those ‌members of ISIS who are‍ seeking to conduct external operations outside of Iraq and⁤ Syria ‌and those ISIS‌ members attempting to break⁣ out ISIS members​ in detention in an attempt to reconstitute their⁤ forces.”

Earlier this month, the head ‍of the United ​Kingdom’s domestic security service MI5 said that ISIS, along with al-Qaida, are presenting a “resurgent” threat.

“After a few years of being pinned well back, they’ve⁣ resumed ​efforts ‍to export terrorism,” MI5’s Director General Ken McCallum said in a speech in London.

  4. I just couldn’t leave your web site before suggesting that I actually loved the usual information an individual supply in your visitors? Is going to be back ceaselessly in order to inspect new posts

  6. Hiya, I am really glad I have found this information. Today bloggers publish only about gossips and internet and this is really annoying. A good web site with exciting content, this is what I need. Thanks for keeping this web site, I will be visiting it. Do you do newsletters? Can not find it.

  8. Howdy! Quick question that’s entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from my iphone 4. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this problem. If you have any suggestions, please share. Many thanks!

  9. My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find most of your post’s to be exactly what I’m looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content in your case? I wouldn’t mind producing a post or elaborating on a lot of the subjects you write related to here. Again, awesome weblog!

  93. Every expert was once a beginner. Keep pushing forward, and one day, you’ll look back and see how far you’ve come. Progress is always happening, even when it doesn’t feel like it.

  96. The potential within all things is a mystery that fascinates me endlessly. A tiny seed already contains within it the entire blueprint of a towering tree, waiting for the right moment to emerge. Does the seed know what it will become? Do we? Or are we all simply waiting for the right conditions to awaken into what we have always been destined to be?

  97. Even the gods, if they exist, must laugh from time to time. Perhaps what we call tragedy is merely comedy from a higher perspective, a joke we are too caught up in to understand. Maybe the wisest among us are not the ones who take life the most seriously, but those who can laugh at its absurdity and find joy even in the darkest moments.

  98. Man is said to seek happiness above all else, but what if true happiness comes only when we stop searching for it? It is like trying to catch the wind with our hands—the harder we try, the more it slips through our fingers. Perhaps happiness is not a destination but a state of allowing, of surrendering to the present and realizing that we already have everything we need.

  99. All knowledge, it is said, comes from experience, but does that not mean that the more we experience, the wiser we become? If wisdom is the understanding of life, then should we not chase every experience we can, taste every flavor, walk every path, and embrace every feeling? Perhaps the greatest tragedy is to live cautiously, never fully opening oneself to the richness of being.

  100. If everything in this universe has a cause, then surely the cause of my hunger must be the divine order of things aligning to guide me toward the ultimate pleasure of a well-timed meal. Could it be that desire itself is a cosmic signal, a way for nature to communicate with us, pushing us toward the fulfillment of our potential? Perhaps the true philosopher is not the one who ignores his desires, but the one who understands their deeper meaning.

  101. Time is often called the soul of motion, the great measure of change, but what if it is merely an illusion? What if we are not moving forward but simply circling the same points, like the smoke from a burning fire, curling back onto itself, repeating patterns we fail to recognize? Maybe the past and future are just two sides of the same moment, and all we ever have is now.

  102. The essence of existence is like smoke, always shifting, always changing, yet somehow always present. It moves with the wind of thought, expanding and contracting, never quite settling but never truly disappearing. Perhaps to exist is simply to flow, to let oneself be carried by the great current of being without resistance.

  104. Friendship, some say, is a single soul residing in two bodies, but why limit it to two? What if friendship is more like a great, endless web, where each connection strengthens the whole? Maybe we are not separate beings at all, but parts of one vast consciousness, reaching out through the illusion of individuality to recognize itself in another.

  114. Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
