US Central Command Captures Islamic State Official in Syria Raid

U.S. Central Command forces conducted a helicopter raid in northern Syria on Sept. 28 and captured Mamduh Ibrahim al-Haji Shaykh, an Islamic State facilitator, Central Command said on Saturday.

Last week, the Central Command forces said it had captured Abu Halil al-Fad'ani, an ISIS Syria Operational and Facilitation official, who was assessed to have relationships throughout the ISIS network in the region, during a raid on Sept. 25.

No civilians were injured or killed during the operations, both Central Command statements said.
