On January 21, U.S. Special Operations Forces and partner forces captured two ISIS terrorists and a third associate, during a helicopter raid in eastern Syria.
The helicopter raid and subsequent ground assault left one civilian wounded. But that person was escorted to and treated at a local medical facility before being returned to his family, according to a statement by US Central Command (CENTCOM).
CENTCOM didn’t give the location of the base that the American special operators came from nor did it disclose which was the partner force. However, since the raid took place in eastern Syria, the partner force was probably the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which the US has partnered with to defeat ISIS.
The joint operation captured Abdallah Hamid Muslih al-Maddad, also known as Abu Hamza al-Suri, and described as an “ISIS facilitator,” and Husam Hamid al-Muslih al-Maddad, al-Khayr, who was described as a logistician. A third ISIS member who was not named by American officials and was described only as an “associate,” was also taken prisoner.

“This operation reaffirms CENTCOM’s steadfast commitment to the region and the enduring defeat of ISIS,” Colonel Joe Buccino, a CENTCOM spokesman, said in a released statement.
“The capture will disrupt the terrorist organization’s ability to further plot and carry out attacks that threaten regional security and stability.”
“ISIS represents a threat to our partners and to the people of Iraq and Syria and beyond. Our mission to defeat ISIS alongside our Syrian Democratic Forces partners continues,” he added.
This latest raid came on the heels of a drone attack on the base used by the U.S. and its partner forces just two days before. No Americans but two Syrians were wounded in that attack.
US and partner forces stay active against ISIS
In December, the Kurdish SDF along with U.S. Special Forces conducted Operation Al-Jazeera Thunderbolt to target terrorist sleeper cells in the areas of al-Hol and Tal Hamis in eastern Syria after ISIS began a surge of terrorist attacks.
ISIS’ self-styled “caliphate” once occupied a wide swath of area in Iraq and Syria. But after the U.S. partnered with the mainly Kurdish SDF in 2015, things began to change. By 2019, the American-SDF coalition had run ISIS out of its last stronghold in the region. Since then, ISIS has been reduced to hit-and-run attacks on civilians, while the U.S. and SDF have conducted attacks on ISIS groups of fighters and high-value targets.
In early December, another joint raid killed two ISIS fighters and during the week of December 20, the U.S.-led coalition conducted a series of helicopter raids that resulted in the capture of six more ISIS fighters. One of the fighters captured was identified as a provincial chief for ISIS, known by the nom de guerre of el-Abayadi.
Last year, the joint forces conducted 313 operations against ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Those operations resulted in 686 ISIS fighters killed and 374 others detained; there were no American troop casualties.

I was a subject of a cryptocurrency heist. Some amount of bitcoin was stolen from my wallet and diverted to an unpermitted account. My wallet management was informed, however, they had me wait a week before responding through email. They didn’t offer any assistance; alternatively, they mentioned that my phone might have been compromised and told me to get in touch with the authorities who couldn’t provide any solution to recover my bitcoin. When I was browsing through the internet trying to find a solution to get my stolen bitcoin back, I discovered a team of bitcoin recovery experts called Adrian Lamo Wizard.

Thank you for sharing this informative post about how CLEVERCREDITFIX1 AT GMAIL DOT COM improved your credit score rating. It had many views I haven’t thought about before. I didn’t know that it affects on the rating in a negative way if you have a big loan from one place compared to a mix of different kind of loans. That’s very good to know. These things have been in my mind more after my friend lost his credit score and it had to be repaired by Mr. Clever. That surely is a difficult situation but I’m glad he’s okay now after Clever Credit raised his score high 789 in less than 7 days and cleared all debts after removing the negative items and hard inquiries. Thank You Clever Credit Fix.

Hello guys, if you want to upgrade your credit score or have an item removed from your credit report permanently, I recommend you contact CLEVER CREDIT FIX. Back in 2021 I had a major setback, if you think your credit was bad mine was terrible. I also had evictions that made getting an apartment difficult. My husband has a condition that I needed a loan but couldn’t, he got seriously ill, I needed help in order to save my husband’s life. I was asking questions on how to raise my credit score, but the answer I got did not look like what could get my credit score up in near time. I got a notification from a blog and lots of testimonies about Clever Credit Fix. I got him via: CLEVERCREDITFIX1@GMAIL.COM in a few days he deleted all negative items and increased my score to 790. I sincerely recommend him. It’s worthy to know that I was not induced in any way to write this here.
I really appreciate the great job 760plus Credit Score did on my credit report. I had been suffering from a poor credit score for a very long time. I had tried every hack in the book, but they were all fairy tales. I signed up with several credit companies, who were only able to increase my score with only 20-30 points in almost 3 years. A realtor recommended 760 for my credit issues. I contacted and began the process, exactly 9days later; I pulled my credit as instructed. Imagine my surprise when I saw my new credit score (788, 779 and 770) across all three bureau. If you’re in need of credit fix then you should contact them via mail: 760PLUSCREDITSCORE>GMAIL>.COM
