In the morning of 31 August 2024, a raid was carried out by the American and Iraqi military in Al Anbar Governorate, Iraq, targeting the Islamic State.
The raid targeted a "senior leader" of the Islamic State, later identified as Abu Ali Al-Tunisim, who was killed.[1][2] Also killed was Ahmad Hamed, an Islamic State deputy commander.[1] The operation included over 100 American troops, assisted by Iraqi troops, and included a helicopter assault with drone assistance.[3]
On 1 September 2024, over 100 Iraqi forces seized two Islamic State fighters who had fled the previous day's fighting with paperwork relating to Islamic State finances and military information.[3]
At least fifteen Islamic State militants were killed and seven U.S. soldiers were injured.[4][5][6][7]
