The US Central Command conducted airstrikes against over 30 Islamic State targets between Feb. 3 and Feb. 13, hitting weapons storage facilities and other infrastructure, according to a statement by US Central Command.
At least 50 Islamic State members have been killed or captured, and over 100 targets have been struck since the US began its strikes after the Dec. 13 ambush that killed Sgt. Edgar Brian Torres-Tovar, Sgt. William Nathaniel Howard, and civilian interpreter Ayad Mansoor Sakat.
The US military has also completed the transfer of thousands of IS detainees from Syria to Iraq, where they are expected to stand trial, as announced by the US military on Friday, following the request of the Iraqi government.
