Iraqi Forces Kill Islamic State Commander and Senior Leaders

A joint operation with U.S. support results in the death of key Islamic State figures in Iraq's Hamrin Mountains.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani confirmed the death of Jassim al-Mazroui Abu Abdul Qader, the Islamic State leader in Iraq.
The operation, executed by Iraqi counterterrorism forces with U.S. technical support, targeted senior Islamic State leaders.
Two U.S. military personnel were injured during the raid but are reported to be in stable condition.
The identities of the other eight senior leaders killed are pending confirmation via DNA testing.
The operation is part of a broader effort as the U.S. plans to transition its military mission in Iraq to bilateral security partnerships by next year.
