CENTCOM Says It Conducted 38 Operations Against ISIS in Iraq and Syria in May
The command says eight alleged ISIS 'operatives' were killed

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.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
