Ajoint operation by American and Iraqi forces killed 15 members of the Islamic State group in western Iraq, the U.S. military announced.
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) tweeted on Friday that in the early hours of Thursday, Aug. 29, U.S. and Iraqi forces killed 15 ISIS operatives. The operatives were "armed with numerous weapons, grenades, and explosive ‘suicide’ belts," the agency announced.
At least seven U.S. service members were injured in the raid — five during one portion of the operation, and two more during a second segment of the operation.
A U.S. defense official tells Fox News Digital, "During the operation, five U.S. personnel were wounded. One of the wounded was evacuated for further treatment. Two additional U.S. personnel were injured from falls during the operation, with one also evacuated out of theater for follow on care. All personnel are in stable condition."

That would make too much sense.
We need to kill a bunch of rats infesting the barn. I’ll set traps in the living room!
To kill vermin, you go to where they are.
Talk about endless foreign wars, when are we ever going to get out of there.
The biggest lie ever told by a president was Geroge Bush’s “Islam is a religion of Peace.”
Well, no it is not. Followers are commanded to convert people to Islam (submit to Allah) or kill them as infidels.
They are—and have been—making war on us for centuries.
We can either submit or fight, but we cannot have peace, at least on our terms.
We should have an alliance between the US, Europe, and Russia to stop the spread and push it back where it came from.
Iraqi government has said they hate the U.S. Iraqi government is controlled by Iran. And yet, we still “work” with them. Pouring money and resources into a dump.
Insanity.
Bush presidency looks worse and worse as time goes by.
Never.
When Bush proclaimed Islam as a religion of peace, that was a death sentence for us.
In order for us to escape from that prison, someone has to tell the truth. The only person in government that was able to properly articulate the whole issue, was ALLEN WEST.
No one comes close.
Screw Iraq and screw Britain and Europe. I saw an article today that reports Belgium schools are making Arabic mandatory now.
The U.S. helped chased the Germans out of Belgium in WWI, and the Nazis in WWII. Now they've allowed themselves to be invaded by another enemy, without a shot being fired. Europe never learned its lesson from two World Wars. The U.S. won't be saving their ass again, because third time is not a charm here. We have our own problems to take care of, cleaning up after left-wing fruitcakes who have been trying to turn the United States into Europe for years.
