Two US service members were injured in Iraq in a joint US-Iraqi raid overnight that killed “multiple ISIS operatives,” according to a Defense Department spokesperson.

Two U.S. service members were injured overnight in a raid in Iraq that targeted top ISIS leaders and killed "multiple" ISIS operatives, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

The news of the joint mission comes just weeks after the U.S. announced that it had reached a new agreement with the Iraqi government to bring the American anti-ISIS military mission in the country to an end by next year.

There are about 2,500 U.S. military personnel in Iraq participating in a counter-ISIS mission. U.S. officials in September announced American troops will remain in Iraq as the two countries agree to a transition of the American-led mission against ISIS.

The US government encouraged political parties in the Kurdistan Region to have dialogue following the announcement of election results on Monday, stressing there is more that unites than divides them.

Al-Sudani said via X, formerly Twitter, that nine of the terrorist group’s senior leaders were killed in an operation carried out by the Counter-Terrorism Service (CTS) and the Iraqi National Security Service (INSS), under the supervision of the Joint Operations Command.

Iraq says nine people have been killed, including the leaders of Islamic State and ISIS, an Islamic extremist terrorist group operating in the country.Prime
