US commandos killed a senior ISIS figure in a helicopter raid in Syria that also left four American troops and a military working dog wounded Thursday night, US Central Command said.
As the US and members of the Syrian Democratic Forces conducted the raid, “an explosion on target” hurt the US service members and dog, who now “are receiving treatment in a US medical facility in Iraq,” according to a CENTCOM statement released Friday.
“The targeted ISIS senior leader, Hamza al-Homsi, was killed,” CENTCOM said. “Hamza al-Homsi oversaw the group’s deadly terrorist network in eastern Syria before he was killed in the raid.”
