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.

“Overnight, CENTCOM [US Central Command] and Iraqi security forces conducted a partner raid in Iraq targeting several senior ISIS leaders,” said Ryder. “The raid resulted in the death of multiple ISIS operatives.”

According to a statement by Iraqi Joint Operations Command, nine ISIS members were killed in the raid, including “the so-called criminal governor of Wali Iraq called Jassim Al-Mazrouei Abu Abdul Qader and other leaders from the front line.”

Best wishes for a full and swift recovery to our injured vets.

Someone alert the VP that they strayed into a combat zone.

No point in telling the POTATUS, he’d just check his watch and forget what you said.

injured? Wounded is the right word - it was not some random traffic accident.

So we/our soldiers and Iraqis are sharing a raid?

When in hell did this start and happen?
