US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced on Monday that CENTCOM and its partner forces conducted operations in Iraq and Syria, from December 30 to January 6, in support of the ongoing campaign against the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization. “From December 30 to January 6, CENTCOM and Iraqi forces conducted multiple strikes in the Hamrin mountains of Iraq, targeting known ISIS locations,” the CENTCOM statement said.
“The operations served to disrupt and degrade ISIS’ ability to plan, organize, and conduct attacks against civilians in the region, as well as US citizens, allies, and partners throughout the region and beyond. During the operations, ISIS fighters engaged Coalition forces on several occasions, resulting in the employment of Coalition air strikes, using F-16s, F-15s, and A-10s. The A-10s tasked to support ground forces in the area were successful in eliminating the ISIS fighters within a cave,” it added. (Read More)
