US Central Command captures Islamic State official in Syria
US Central Command forces conducted a helicopter raid in northern Syria capturing Mamduh Ibrahim al-Haji Shaykh, an Islamic State facilitator, Central Command said.
Last week, the Central Command forces said it had captured Abu Halil al-Fad’ani, an ISIS Syria Operational and Facilitation official, who was assessed to have relationships throughout the ISIS network in the region, during a raid on September 25.
No civilians were injured or killed during both operations, both Central Command statements said.
