US Central Command said in a press release on Tuesday that it conducted 38 operations against ISIS in Iraq and Syria in May, killing eight alleged ISIS “operatives” and detaining 31 more.
The command said that all the operations were launched with partners, referring to the Kurdish-led SDF in Syria and the Baghdad-based government in Iraq. CENTCOM said it was involved in 21 partnered operations in Iraq and 17 in Syria.
In Iraq, the command claimed 11 alleged ISIS operatives were detained, and six were killed. In Syria, 20 alleged ISIS operatives were detained, and two were killed. CENTCOM did not offer an assessment of potential harm to civilians in the operations, and the Pentagon is notorious for undercounting civilian casualties.
