Today, Tuesday, the US Central Command announced that it had carried out 3 helicopter strikes in eastern Syria over the past 48 hours, and that 6 ISIS operatives had been arrested.
The leadership said in a statement that one of the detainees was a prominent member of the organization in Syria and was involved in carrying out attacks in the country.
Hundreds of American soldiers are deployed within a US-led coalition against the organization, and it continues to fight with its allies from the Syrian Democratic Forces.
From time to time, US forces and the international coalition forces led by Washington launch raids or airdrops against suspected members of ISIS.
Since 2014, the international coalition in Iraq and Syria has been waging a campaign against ISIS, which culminated in March 2019 with the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, led by the Kurdish fighters, announcing the elimination of the organization after the end of the last battles against it in the border village of Al-Baghouz with Iraq.
After eliminating the organization in Syria, its fighters took refuge mainly in the Syrian desert, which extends between the governorates of Homs (central) and Deir ez-Zor at the border with Iraq, and many hide in different villages and regions.
And the American forces announced their success in several operations, in which they killed a number of ISIS leaders, led by Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, in October 2019.
