American and Allied Forces Continue Fighting ISIS Terrorists in Middle East

American military and allied forces continue battling ISIS terrorists in the Middle East. 

In early January, US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced the beginning of the Defeat Isis (D-ISIS) operation, designed to decimate the terrorist group. 

D-ISIS is focusing on ISIS strongholds in the Hamrin mountains of Iraq and the Dayr az-Zawr region of Syria.

CENTCOM recently released information describing air strikes that eliminated various ISIS targets in Iraq. 

“On Feb. 10, Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), enabled by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces, conducted precision airstrikes in the vicinity of Kirkuk, Iraq, killing two ISIS operatives,” said CENTCOM. 

A post-strike investigation allegedly confirmed the death of the two ISIS terrorists and found they had been in possession of various explosive devices, including a suicide bomb belt. 

“ISIS remains a threat to the region and beyond, and CENTCOM, along with partners and allies, will continue to aggressively pursue these terrorists,” concluded CENTCOM. 

ISIS had resurged during former President Joe Biden’s administration but has been weakening thanks to revitalized military efforts against them by the US and allies.  

However, ISIS’ renewed presence has raised alarms, as even domestic terror attacks in the US, such as the recent New Orleans massacre, have been linked to the terror group. 

There has also been increased reporting of arrests at the southwest border of individuals with potential links to ISIS and other terror groups. 

Republican lawmakers had warned President Biden’s border policies would allow terrorist operatives to surreptitiously slip into the US.

Nearly two dozen Senators previously penned a letter to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas demanding answers on numerous concerning border crossing statistics.

Among these are releases of aliens potentially belonging to Afghani, Somalian, and Uzbekistani terrorist groups into the US.
