A joint US-Iraqi military raid in western Iraq on August 29 resulted in the deaths of 14 ISIS operatives, including four senior leaders: Ahmad Hamid Husayn Abd-al-Jalil al-Ithawi, Abu Hammam, Abu-'Ali al-Tunisi, and Shakir Abud Ahmad al-Issawi. The operation, which aimed to disrupt ISIS's operations, also saw seven American service members injured. The US Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed the deaths and noted that al-Tunisi, a key bombmaker with a $5 million bounty, was among those killed. This raid was part of ongoing efforts to degrade ISIS's capability to plan and execute attacks against civilians and US allies in the region.
