US Special Forces, Bradley Fighting Vehicles Brought In To Retake ISIS Prison
Published 2 years ago
Various clips coming out of the nearly week-long siege to retake an SDF prison that was overtaken by Islamic State fighters in Syria's Hasakah province shows US special operations troops as well as American flag-flying Bradley fighting vehicles taking part in the counter terror operation. In addition to the US forces shown, a nighttime precision airstrike can also be seen smashing the enemy-held prison.
There is a lot of bad and flat-out wrong information being put out by all sides for public relations goals, so it is hard to quantify exactly what took place. The Kurdish-led SDF claimed to have the prison under control multiple times, which wasn't the case as the battle continued to rage for days.
While videos have surfaced showing the recapture of several ISIS prisoners, other reports indicate a possibility that hundreds of terrorists may have escaped. While the fight for the prison was ongoing, the Islamic State reportedly launched attacks in other areas across Iraq and Syria. It would be safe to assume that ISIS is attempting to rebuild their army for another attempt at controlling the region.
