“This has degraded the terrorist organization’s ability to conduct local attacks and spread violence globally,” the statement read.

It noted that as a result of these operations, five ISIS members were killed and 19 were captured.

Meanwhile, CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said the recent gains mark a significant step in weakening ISIS’s remaining network in Syria.

He stressed that the United States will continue pursuing ISIS remnants “aggressively,” while working with the Global Coalition to ensure that the group cannot regenerate or export attacks abroad.

The developments come as Syria was admitted this week as the 90th member of the Global Coalition Against ISIS, with the Coalition now shifting its focus toward stabilising former ISIS-held areas and mitigating conditions that could enable the group’s resurgence.

Cooper, speaking at a UN conference in September, called on Coalition members to accelerate the repatriation of detainees and displaced persons from northeast Syria, noting that prolonged stays in camps such as al-Hol and al-Roj risk fueling future radicalisation.

The population of the two camps, once at 70,000 in 2019, has now fallen below 30,000 — a trend Washington views as essential to reducing extremist influence among vulnerable groups, particularly women and children.

“Repatriating vulnerable populations before they are radicalized is not just compassion — it is a decisive blow against ISIS’s ability to ever regenerate,” Cooper said, reaffirming US support for all nations working to bring their citizens home.
