U.S.-Iraq Raid Kills 15 ISIS Fighters

A joint US-Iraqi military operation in western Iraq on Thursday resulted in the deaths of 15 ISIS fighters and left seven American troops injured. The raid, aimed at disrupting ISIS leadership and their ability to plan attacks, targeted heavily armed ISIS operatives and involved airstrikes followed by a ground assault. While CENTCOM confirmed there were no civilian casualties, the injured US personnel are in stable condition, with some evacuated for further care. Iraqi forces continue to exploit the raided locations for intelligence, and forensic tests are underway to identify potential senior ISIS leaders among the dead. The operation underscores ongoing security efforts by US and coalition forces in the region against the persistent threat posed by ISIS.
