U.S. Military Says It Killed ISIS Commander in Syria

On Wednesday, the US Central Command announced that an ISIS (Daesh) military commander was killed in a raid in Syria on February 10.

In a statement, the US Command said that the militant commander was involved in planning attacks on centers housing American forces, noting that large quantities of arms, ammunition, and an explosive belt, were seized during the raid.

Last month, the U.S. military's Central Command announced that their forces have captured two Islamic State members during an air and ground assault in eastern Syria.

Col. Joe Buccino, a Central Command spokesperson, said that one civilian received "minor injuries" during the attack and was treated at a nearby medical facility before being released back to his family.

Few other details of the raid were disclosed. Central Command alluded to the presence of "partner forces" - language which in the past has been used to refer to the Syrian Democratic Forces, the Syrian Kurdish armed group that helped the U.S. and its allies defeat Islamic State.

Central Command did not immediately return a message seeking further information about the attack.
