2023-02-02T17:08:01.000000 Z / The Islamic State group might have been territorially beat in Iraq and Syria years ago, but United States
forces continue to mop up the last vestiges of the fear network there.United States Central Command revealed on Thursday that the United
States -led union and partner forces had performed 43 objectives against ISIS in January under Operation Inherent Resolve in Iraq and
Syria.Januarys operations resulted in 11 ISIS operatives killed and another 227 detained, CENTCOM said.In a statement accompanying
journalism release, CENTCOM chief Gen
Michael Erik Kurilla suggested the United States and its local partners still have a great deal of work to do when it pertains to keeping
ISIS from reconstituting itself
While our efforts have actually deteriorated ISIS, the groups repellent ideology stays uncontained and unconstrained, Kurilla said
ISIS continues to represent a risk to not only Iraq and Syria but to the stability and security of the area
Therefore, we need to continue the battle versus ISIS alongside our partners
None of the operations were performed solely with United States forces (compared to 14 unilateral United States operations executed in
Syria in 2022), and Kurilla praised the United States militarys regional partners in the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces and the Iraqi
Security Forces for taking the lead in the continuous campaign
We rely greatly on the Syrian Democratic Forces for the fight against ISIS, Kurilla said in a statement
