CENTCOM Targets ISIS Leaders, Deploys B-52s for Security Boost – SOFREP News Team

Over the past 60 days, US Central Command (CENTCOM) has been working hard to curb ISIS’s influence and operations across Iraq and Syria, pushing back against remnants of the group that, despite its major defeats in 2019, still poses a significant threat to the region.

CENTCOM released on Monday, November 4, a report detailing 95 operations against ISIS, some of which were US-only strikes in Syria, showing a solid commitment to keeping ISIS from regrouping.

The results? An impressive tally of 163 militants killed and 33 captured, including some high-ranking leaders.

What stands out here is not just the sheer numbers but also the impact these operations are having on ISIS’s ability to launch attacks.

According to CENTCOM, the sustained pressure on ISIS has made it tougher for the group to plan and coordinate its movements.

Alongside Iraqi and Syrian security forces, American troops have seized large amounts of enemy material, which could be useful for further dismantling the group’s operations.

US Commander Gen. Michael Erik Kurilla emphasized that the military would keep pressing ISIS to prevent them from posing a threat to the US and its allies in the region.
