Published 1 years ago
New footage is believed to be from one of the multiple joint US Special Operations Forces (SOF) and Kurdish YAT special forces raids against Islamic State leadership that occurred on Feb. 17, 2023 in the Deir ez Zor region of northeastern Syria, which resulted in the deaths of ISIS leadership.
Four US service members and a US military working dog were injured on one of those raids, as a blast targeted the group on the objective. This footage may be from another raid that occurred the same night, and resulted in the death of an Islamic State assassination cell leader. The following morning, Feb. 18, 20223, a follow-on raid captured "Batar" an ISIS leader believed to be responsible for the week-long ISIS attack on the Kurdish-run prison in Syria in late January 2022.
