Helicopter-borne US troops working with Syrian Kurdish-led forces on Saturday captured an ISIS provincial official in Syria, the US military said. The ISIS official, identified as Batar, was "involved in planning attacks on... detention centers and manufacturing improvised explosive devices," the US military's Central Command said. Neither civilians nor US forces were killed or injured in the operation carried out with the help of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), it added. The raid came a day after four US troops were wounded as they conducted another raid to kill a senior ISIS group leader in northeastern Syria, CENTCOM said. That raid led to the death of an ISIS leader identified as Hamza al-Homsi, who CENTCOM said "oversaw the group's deadly terrorist network in eastern Syria."
